24:036:012 Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s
           chamber:  and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the
           scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son
           of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the
           son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

24:036:013 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had
           heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

24:036:014 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah,
           the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying,
           Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears
           of the people, and come.  So Baruch the son of Neriah took the
           roll in his hand, and came unto them.

24:036:015 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. 
           So Baruch read it in their ears.

24:036:016 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they
           were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will
           surely tell the king of all these words.

24:036:017 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou
           write all these words at his mouth?

24:036:018 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto
           me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

24:036:019 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and
           Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.

24:036:020 And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up
           the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all
           the words in the ears of the king.

24:036:021 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll:  and he took it out
           of Elishama the scribe’s chamber.  And Jehudi read it in the
           ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which
           stood beside the king.

24:036:022 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month:  and
           there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

24:036:023 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four
           leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire
           that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the
           fire that was on the hearth.

24:036:024 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the
           king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

24:036:025 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made
           intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll:  but
           he would not hear them.
