Context of Jeremiah 36:19
17Then they asked Baruch, “Please tell us how you wrote all this. Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?” 18Baruch answered, “He dictated everything to me, and I wrote it on the scroll in ink.” The officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.” 20After they put the scroll in the side room of the scribe Elishama, they went to the king in the courtyard and told him everything. 21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. He took the scroll from the side room of the scribe Elishama. Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials standing by the king.
