Context of Jeremiah 36:14

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. 13Then Micaiah reported to them all the words that he had heard Baruch reading out of the scroll in the ears of the people. All 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. 16After they had heard all the words, they turned to each other in fear, then said to Baruch: “We will surely report all these words to the king.”
