  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Urijah 
  the  lord  is  my  light.  (1.)  A  high  priest  in  the  time  of  Ahaz  (2 
  Kings  16:10-16),  at  whose  bidding  he  constructed  an  idolatrous 
  altar  like  one  the  king  had  seen  at  Damascus,  to  be  set  up 
  instead  of  the  brazen  altar. 
 
  (2.)  One  of  the  priests  who  stood  at  the  right  hand  of  Ezra's 
  pulpit  when  he  read  and  expounded  the  law  (Neh.  8:4). 
 
  (3.)  A  prophet  of  Kirjath-jearim  in  the  reign  of  Jehoiakim, 
  king  of  Judah  (Jer.  26:20-23).  He  fled  into  Egypt  from  the 
  cruelty  of  the  king,  but  having  been  brought  back  he  was 
  beheaded  and  his  body  "cast  into  the  graves  of  the  common 
  people."
