Jeremiah 36:14-21

14Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come [to us].” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to them.

15And they said to him, “Sit down now and read it to us.” So Baruch read it to them.

16Now when they had heard all the words, they turned one to another in fear and said to Baruch, “We must surely report all these words to the king.”

17And they asked Baruch, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words? At his (Jeremiah’s) dictation?”

18Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the scroll.”

19Then the princes said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are.”

20Then they went into the court to the king, but they [first] put the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; then they reported all the words to the king.

21So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it to the king and all the princes who stood beside the king.
