26
Instead, the king commanded three men to arrest the secretary Baruch and the prophet Jeremiah. But the Lord had hidden them. The three were Jerahmeel, Seraiah and Shelemiah. Jerahmeel was a member of the royal court. Seraiah was the son of Azriel. And Shelemiah was the son of Abdeel.

Verse Explanation
The king orders Jerahmeel, Seraiah, and Shelemiah to arrest Baruch and Jeremiah, but God protects them and they cannot be found, demonstrating that the destruction of the scroll cannot silence God's messengers.
History
c. 604 BC: Jeremiah and Baruch survived this attempt to suppress the prophetic message.
