Jeremiah 36:21

So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.

Cross-reference

In Jeremiah 36:14, Jehudi is sent to Baruch to bring the scroll; here the king sends Jehudi to fetch it — same character, sequential action.

In Jeremiah 36:15, Baruch reads the scroll to officials; here Jehudi reads it to the king — both involve reading the same scroll to an audience.

Jeremiah 36:4 Historical context

Jeremiah 36:4 is where Baruch writes the scroll that is later read to the king in 36:21 — a direct narrative link.

Jeremiah 36:12 Historical context

Jeremiah 36:12 describes the officials hearing the scroll earlier — now in 36:21 the king hears it directly.

Jeremiah 36:20 Historical context

Jeremiah 36:20 has the officials report the scroll's words to the king, leading to the reading in 36:21.

Jeremiah 22:21 states Jehoiakim would not listen when God spoke — the same refusal shown when he heard the scroll here.

Jeremiah 52:2 says Zedekiah did evil like Jehoiakim — the same king who rejected God's word here.

In 2 Kings 22:10, Shaphan reads the Book of the Law to Josiah — a direct parallel to Jehudi reading Jeremiah's scroll to Jehoiakim.

2 Chronicles 34:18 records the same event as 2 Kings 22:10 — Shaphan reading the book to the king, mirroring this scroll reading.
