II. GEMARIAH, the son of Shaphan, Jerem. xxxvi. 12, 13, &c. In the year of the World 3399, before J. C. 601, before the Vulgar Æra 605.was one of King Jehoiakim’s Counsellors, before whom Baruch read the volume of Jeremiah’s Prophecies. Gemariah and the rest, amazed at what they had heard, told Baruch, that the matter was of so much importance, that it was necessary to report it to the King; and they asked him, how Jeremiah had dictated this Letter to him. He told them, that he dictated it readily, like one who was reading in a book.
