Jeremiah 36:12
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.
The scene is set down in the king's house, in the scribe's chamber, which was the chamber of Elishama the scribe. All the princes of Judah were assembled together there, with Elishama the scribe among them. What Baruch had read publicly reached these officials through the report of Michaiah, and they then heard the words themselves directly before the message was carried to the king.
This belongs to the account of Jeremiah's written message, containing reproofs sent to ancient Israel that the people refused to receive, which was read before King Jehoiakim and then burned by him in rejection. That burning could not destroy the message, for the same message was written again, with more added to it. Rejecting God's correction does not end His message, and refusal to receive correction brings judgment upon those who refuse. The chapter stands as a warning for the present day, even specifically to Battle Creek, that people will act as those men then did when they hear God's message and reject it.
