TSK · 2 Chronicles 34:8

Adoniram was supervisor of the work crews. Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the secretary.

Joab son of Zeruiah was commanding general of the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was secretary;

He assembled the priests and Levites and ordered them,“Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the annual quota of silver from all Israel for repairs on the temple of your God. Be quick about it!” But the Levites delayed.

The LORD’s message came to him in the thirteenth year that Josiah son of Amon ruled over Judah.

However, Ahikam son of Shaphan used his influence to keep Jeremiah from being handed over and executed by the people.

“The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel also has something to say about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you and claiming my authority to do so.‘I will hand them over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and he will execute them before your very eyes.

At that time Baruch went into the temple of the LORD. He stood in the entrance of the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan who had been the royal secretary. That room was in the upper court near the entrance of the New Gate. There, where all the people could hear him, he read from the scroll what Jeremiah had said.

Moreover, all the Judeans who were in Moab, Ammon, Edom, and all the other countries heard what had happened. They heard that the king of Babylon had allowed some people to stay in Judah and that he had appointed Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, to govern them.
