Context of Jeremiah 36:26
24Yet neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words were afraid, nor tore their clothes. 25Moreover Elnatan, Delaiah and Gemariah entreated the king not to burn the megillah , but he would not listen to them. Then the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, along with Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize the scribe Baruch and the prophet Jeremiah—but Adonai hid them. 27Then the word of Adonai came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the megillah with the words that Baruch had written at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying: 28“Take yet another megillah , and write in it all the original words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned up.
