Then rose upª° certain²¹ of the eldersª¹ of the land,ª and spakeª° to¹ all¹ the assemblyª of the people,ª saying,ª°" {Jer 26:16-17} + "Nevertheless¹ the handª of Ahikamª the sonª of Shaphanª was¹ with¹ Jeremiah,ª that they should not¹ giveª° him into the handª of the peopleª to put him to death.ª°" {Jer 26:24} + "The princesª of Judah,ª and the princesª of Jerusalem,ª the eunuchs,ª and the priests,ª and all¹ the peopleª of the land,ª which passedª° between¹ the partsª of the calf;ª" {Jer 34:19} + "Then he went downª° into¹ the king'sª house,ª into¹ the scribe'sª° chamber:ª and, lo,¹ all¹ the princesª satª° there,¹ [even] Elishamaª the scribe,ª° and Delaiahª the sonª of Shemaiah,ª and Elnathanª the sonª of Achbor,ª and Gemariahª the sonª of Shaphan,ª and Zedekiahª the sonª of Hananiah,ª and all¹ the princes.ª ... Then saidª° the princesª unto¹ Baruch,ª Go,²°¹ hideª° thee, thou¹ and Jeremiah;ª and let no¹ manª knowª° whereª ye be." {Jer 36:12-19} + "Nevertheless¹ Elnathanª and Delaiahª and Gemariahª had made intercessionª° to the kingª that he would not¹ burnª°¹ the roll:ª but he would not¹ hearª°¹ them." {Jer 36:25} + "Then saidª° Jeremiah,ª [It is] false;ª I fall¹ not¹ away²° to¹ the Chaldeans.ª But he hearkenedª° not¹ to¹ him: so Irijahª tookª° Jeremiah,ª and broughtª° him to¹ the princes.ª ...
