Context of Jeremiah 36:19

17They also asked Baruch, ‘Please tell us how you wrote all these words. Did Jeremiah himself tell you what to write?’ 18Baruch said, ‘Yes, he told me what I should write. Then I used ink to write the words on this scroll.’ The officers said to Baruch, ‘You and Jeremiah must go and hide yourselves. Do not tell anyone where you are.’ 20The officers put the scroll into the room of Elishama, the king's secretary, to keep it safe. Then they went to see the king. He was in the palace yard. They reported to him everything that they had heard. 21Then the king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll. Jehudi brought the scroll from Elishama's room in the temple. Then he read the message that was written on the scroll. He read it aloud to the king and to all the officers who were standing around him.
