Jeremiah36:26
26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet : But the LORD hid them .
The King was not satisfied with burning the Roll, but gives order to apprehend both Ieremiah and Baruch, and commandeth the three persons named in this verse to do it:
But God by his providence kept them both out of their hands; how the Lord hid them we are not told, the Princes (as we read before) advised Baruch that they should both hide themselves. This Phrase (probably) imports no more, than that God directed them to find such a place of recess as the Kings messengers could by no means find out, nor understand where they were, till the King's passion was a little over.
Marginal references: Or, of the King.
