Jeremiah 36:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ King Jehoiakim and his servants heard ·everything that was said [^Lall these words], but they were not frightened! They did not tear their clothes [^Cto show their sorrow]. ²⁵ Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah ·even tried to talk [beseeched] King Jehoiakim out of burning the scroll, but he would not listen to them. ²⁶ Instead, the king ordered Jerahmeel son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the ·secretary [scribe] and Jeremiah the prophet. But the Lord had hidden them.
