Shaphan was a scribe during the reign of King Josiah and played a significant role in the religious reforms of that time (<a href="/2_kings/22-3.htm">2 Kings 22:3-14</a>). This connection to Shaphan suggests a family lineage involved in the administration and spiritual life of Judah. The mention of Micaiah highlights the importance of family heritage and the transmission of faith and responsibility through generations. This lineage also indicates a connection to those who were faithful to God's covenant, as Shaphan was instrumental in the rediscovery of the Book of the Law.<p><b>heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll</b><br>The phrase emphasizes the importance of hearing and receiving God's word. In the context of <a href="/jeremiah/36.htm">Jeremiah 36</a>, the scroll contains the prophecies given by God to Jeremiah, which Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, wrote down. This act of hearing is significant as it represents the transmission of divine revelation to the people. The scroll is a physical representation of God's communication, and its reading is an act of obedience and reverence. The words of the LORD are central to the prophetic tradition, serving as a call to repentance and a warning of impending judgment. This moment foreshadows the New Testament emphasis on the Word of God, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/micaiah.htm">Micaiah</a></b><br>The son of Gemariah, who was a scribe and a significant figure in the court of King Jehoiakim.

Probably it was part of a preconcerted plan, arranged between the prophet and his friends, that he should report it, and so give an opening for bringing Baruch into the presence of the king and his counsellors, as they sat in what we may call their council-chamber.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/36-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">When Micaiah</span><br /><span class="heb">מִכָ֨יְהוּ</span> <span class="translit">(mi·ḵā·yə·hū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
