Dict: easton - Gemariah

easton:

Gemariah @ Jehovah has made perfect.

(1.) The son of Shaphan, and one of the Levites of the temple in the time of Jehoiakim kjv@Jeremiah:36:10; kjv@2Kings:22:12). Baruch read aloud to the people from Gemariah's chamber, and again in the hearing of Gemariah and other scribes, the prophecies of Jeremiah kjv@Jeremiah:36:11-20), which filled him with terror. He joined with others in entreating the king not to destroy the roll of the prophecies which Baruch had read (21-25).

(2.) The son of Hilkiah, who accompanied Shaphan with the tribute-money from Zedekiah to Nebuchadnezzar, and was the bearer at the same time of a letter from Jeremiah to the Jewish captives at Babylon kjv@Jeremiah:29:3-4).
