Context of Jeremiah 36:26

24Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their clothes. 25Even though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them. 27Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll containing the words which Baruch had written at the dictation of Jeremiah: 28“Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned.
