Contextual Overview

⁹ It came about in December of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah that all the people of Jerusalem, along with all the people from the Judean villages, were there in Jerusalem to observe a fast to God . ¹⁰ Baruch took the scroll to the Temple and read out publicly the words of Jeremiah. He read from the meeting room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the secretary of state, which was in the upper court right next to the New Gate of God 's Temple. Everyone could hear him. ¹¹The moment Micaiah the son of Gemariah heard what was being read from the scroll— God 's Message!—he went straight to the palace and to the chambers of the secretary of state where all the government officials were holding a meeting: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other government officials. ¹³ Micaiah reported everything he had heard Baruch read from the scroll as the officials listened. ¹⁴ Immediately they dispatched Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Semaiah, son of Cushi, to Baruch, ordering him, "Take the scroll that you have read to the people and bring it here." So Baruch went and retrieved the scroll. ¹⁵ The officials told him, "Sit down. Read it to us, please." Baruch read it. ¹⁶ When they had heard it all, they were upset. They talked it over. "We've got to tell the king all this." ¹⁷ They asked Baruch, "Tell us, how did you come to write all this? Was it at Jeremiah's dictation?" ¹⁸ Baruch said, "That's right. Every word right from his own mouth. And I wrote it down, word for word, with pen and ink." ¹⁹ The government officials told Baruch, "You need to get out of here. Go into hiding, you and Jeremiah. Don't let anyone know where you are!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 Jeremiah 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".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Probably as his father had lent Jeremiah the hall, Michaiah had been commanded to bring Gemariah Jeremiah 36:12 tidings, as soon as the reading was over, of the nature of the prophet’s words, and the effect produced by them upon the people.
