Context

Jeremiah’s Scroll Read in the Palace

¹⁰From the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which was in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the LORD, Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the hearing of all the people.¹¹When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,¹²he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.

Summary

In this verse, we see the response of the officials after they heard the words of the Lord written by Jeremiah. They showed reverence by sitting in a room to listen attentively to the message being read. This demonstrates a level of respect for the word of God and a recognition of its importance. Despite their initial respect, their actions later reveal a lack of true repentance and obedience to God's commands, leading to consequences for their disobedience.

John Gill Bible Commentary

When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan,.... Who was present when Baruch read in the roll to the people in his father's chamber; but his father was absent, and was with the princes in the secretary's office at the same time, as Jer 36:12 shows: the son seems to be a more religious man than the father, unless he was placed as a spy, to hear and see what he could: however, when he had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord: which were spoken by the Lord to Jeremiah, and which Baruch read out of the book he had written in his hearing; for it is a vain conceit of Abarbinel, that Micaiah did not hear these words from the mouth of Baruch reading, but out of the book which he looked into; for then it would have been said, which he had "seen" or "read" out of the book, and not "heard".
