GEMARIAH.—1. A son of Shaphan the scribe. He vainly sought to deter king Jehoiakim from burning the roll (Jer_36:10-12; Jer_36:25). 2. A son of Hilkiah who carried a letter from Jeremiah to the captives at Babylon (Jer_29:3).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


1. Shaphan the scribe's son, Michaiah's father. From his chamber in the Lord's house Baruch read Jeremiah's threatening prophecy in the people's hearing (Jeremiah 36). Michaiah reported it, anti Baruch being summoned read it again before the princes seated in council in the scribe's chamber in the king's house. Gemariah, as the other princes, was "afraid" thereat, and said, "We will surely tell the king of all these words" (not a threat, but implying that so momentous a prophecy ought to be told the king). Gemariah had some fear of God and moral courage, for he, with Elnathan and Delaiah, interceded with king Jehoiakim not to burn the roll; but he would not hear them.
2. Son of Hilkiah, the high priest who found the book of the law in the Lord's house, and showed it to Shaphan (2Ki_22:8); sent by king Zedekiah on an embassy to Nebuchadnezzar; entrusted by Jeremiah with a letter to the captives in Babylon. Inheriting from his father, like the former Gemariah, some regard for sacred things (Jer_29:1-3).

Gemari?ah (God-perfected), the son of Shaphan, and a scribe of the temple in the time of Jehoiakim. Baruch read aloud the prophecies of Jeremiah to the people at the official chamber of Gemariah, which was attached to the new gate of the temple built by king Jotham (Jer_36:10; comp. 2Ki_15:35). Gemariah's son Michaiah having reported this to his father, Baruch was invited to repeat the reading at the scribes' chamber in the palace, before Gemariah and other scribes and councilors, who gave an account of the matter to the king (Jer_36:10-26), B.C. 607.

Gemariah
(Heb. Gens-aryah', גְּמִרְיָה[Jer_29:3], and in its prolonged form, Gemarya'hu, גְּמִרְיָהוּwhom Jehovah has made perfect; Sept. Γαμαρίας), the name of two men.
1. The son of Shaphan, one of the nobles of Judah and a scribe of the Temple in the time of Jehoiakim. B.C. 605. Baruch read aloud the prophecies of Jeremiah to the people at the official chamber of Gemariah (or from a window in it), which was attached to the new gate of the Temple built by king Jotham (Jer_36:10; comp. 2Ki_15:35). Gemariah's son Michaiah having reported this to his father, Baruch was invited to repeat the reading at the scribe's chamber in the palace, before Gemariah ands other scribes and counselors, who gave an account of the matter to the king (Jer_36:11-20). Gemariah, with the other princes, heard the divite message with terror but without a sign of repentance; though Geisariah joined two others in entreating king Jehoiakim to forbear destroying the roll which they bad taken from Baruch (Jer_36:21-25). SEE JEREMIAH.
