Jeremiah chapter 36, verses 11 and 12.

0:10.1

When Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, son of Shafan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll,

he went down to the king's house and to the secretary's chamber and all the officials were sitting there

Elshama the secretary, Delaya, the son of Shemaiah, El Nathan the son of Akbor, Gameraia the son of
