(12) And, lo, all the princes sat there.—The following particulars may be noted as to the princes thus named.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32
Jehoiakim burn’s Jeremiah’s scroll (36:1-32)God commanded Jeremiah to write down all the prophecies he had given during the previous twenty years and announce them again to Judah.
