13. Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book to the people.
14. Then all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, "Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come." So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to them.
15. They said to him, "Sit down, please, and read it to us." So Baruch read it to them.
16. When they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one to another and said to Baruch, "We will surely report all these words to the king."
17. And they asked Baruch, saying, "Tell us, please, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?"
18. Then Baruch said to them, "He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the book."
19. Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go, hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are."
20. So they went to the king in the court, but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they reported all the words to the king.
