14 Therefore all the princes sent Yehudi the son of Netanyah, the son of Shelemyahu, the son of Kushi, to Barukh, saying, Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Barukh the son of Neriyah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.

Jeremiah 36:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:14

Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi
Who, according to Junius, was the king's apparitor: he is described by his descent, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi;
him the princes sent, being not one of their body, but a servant at court: to Baruch;
who was very probably still in the temple, where Micaiah left him: saying, take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears
of the people, and come;
that is, to the king's palace, to the secretary's office, where they were, and bring the roll along with him he had been reading to the people, and of which Micaiah had given them some account; and which had such an effect upon them, as to make them desirous of hearing it themselves; so Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto
them;
which showed great boldness and intrepidity in him, to go at once, without any hesitation, to court, and appear before the princes with his roll, which contained things so very disagreeable to the king and his ministry; but as he had not been afraid to read it publicly before the people in the temple, so neither was he afraid to read it before the princes at court.

Jeremiah 36:14 In-Context

12 he went down into the king's house, into the Sofer's chamber: and, behold, all the princes were sitting there, [to wit], Elishama the Sofer, and Delayah the son of Shemayah, and Elnatan the son of `Akhbor, and Gemaryah the son of Shafan, and Tzidkiyahu the son of Hananyah, and all the princes.

13 Then Mikhayahu declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Barukh read the book in the ears of the people.

14 Therefore all the princes sent Yehudi the son of Netanyah, the son of Shelemyahu, the son of Kushi, to Barukh, saying, Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Barukh the son of Neriyah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.

15 They said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Barukh read it in their ears.

16 Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Barukh, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
