Context of Jeremiah 36:26
24And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, [neither] the king nor any of his servants that heard all these words. 25Moreover, Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them. And the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them. 27And after that the king had burned the roll, and the words that Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, 28Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
