Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi ^(C1)read it to the king as well as to all the officials who were standing beside the king.

Now the king was sitting in the ^(C1)winter house in the ^(C2)ninth month, with a fire burning in the brazier before him.

And when Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe's knife and ^(C1)threw it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all of the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words did ^(C1)not tremble in fear, nor did they ^(C2)tear their garments.
