Jeremiah 36:25

Jehoiakim Burns the Scroll

24Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.25Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.26Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
