Context of Jeremiah 36:26

24The king and all his attendants didn’t show any fear or tear their clothes in fear when they heard everything being read. 25Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to listen to them. The king commanded Jerahmeel (the king’s son), Seraiah (son of Azriel), and Shelemiah (son of Abdeel) to arrest the scribe Baruch and the prophet Jeremiah. But the Lord had hidden Baruch and Jeremiah. 27After the king burned up the scroll that Baruch had written and that Jeremiah had dictated, the Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah. He said, 28“Take another scroll, and write on it everything that was written on the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah burned.
