Iron Age II - King David and the First Temple Period

They Made an Impression on History

And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the Lord hid them


JEREMIAH 36:26

In the picture: Two seal impressions of unknown provenance bear the names of Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, who was Jeremiah’s aide, and Jerahmeel the king’s son. The two are mentioned in the book of Jeremiah as having been present at the incident in which King Jehoiakim burned the scroll bearing the words of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 26).
