Context of Jeremiah 36:13

11Now when Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan, had heard from the scroll all the words of Adonai, 12he went down to the scribe’s chamber of the king’s palace. All the officials sat there—the scribe Elishama, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the officials. Then Micaiah reported to them all the words that he had heard Baruch reading out of the scroll in the ears of the people. 14All the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying: “Bring in your hand the megillah which you read in the ears of the people and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah brought the megillah in his hand and went to them. 15Then they said to him: “Sit down now, and read it in our ears.” So Baruch read it in their ears.
