When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan
on Jeremiah 36:11-13
Micaiah, grandson of Shaphan, hears the reading and goes down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace. He reports “all the words he had heard Baruch read.” Gill notes the house of Shaphan at the turning points: Ahikam protects Jeremiah in 26:24, and Gedaliah governs in chapter 40.

Micaiah reported to them all the words
Micaiah carried the whole reading from the temple court down to the palace. Barnes suggests that his father Gemariah, who had lent the chamber, had asked him to report both the words and their effect on the people. The officials heard the substance before they saw the scroll.
