Contextual Overview
9 And it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, they called a fast before Jehovah, to all the people of Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. 10 And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entrance to the New Gate of thehouse of Jehovah, in the ears of all thepeople. 11 When Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the Words of Jehovah out of the book, 12 then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's room. And, behold, all the rulers were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, andZedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the rulers. 13 And Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. 14 And all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take the scroll in your hand, in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took thescroll in his hand and came to them. 15 And they said to him, Sit down now and read it in our ears. So Baruch read in their ears. 16 And it happened, when they had heard all the Words, they turned each man to his companion in fear. And they said to Baruch, We will surely tell all these words to the king. 17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, how did you write all these words? From his mouth? 18 And Baruch said to them, He spoke all these words to me from his mouth, and I wrote with ink on the book.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord,.... The prophecies of Jeremiah he had taken from him in writing on a roll of parchment; these he read in the temple, in a part of it, after described:
in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe; not a scribe of the law, or an officer of the temple, but the king's chancellor or secretary of state; for this is the title, not of Gemariah, who had a chamber in the temple here mentioned, in which Baruch read his roll, and was an officer there, but of Shaphan, as the accents show, and as his title runs elsewhere, 2 Kings 22:9; which chamber was
in the higher court; it looked into it, which some say was the court of the priests; but into that Baruch, not being a priest, could not enter: rather, according to Dr. Lightfoot, it was the court of Israel, on the same ground with it, though parted from it, and divided from the court of the women by a wall, to which they went by an ascent of fifteen steps; so that it might with great propriety be called the higher court:
at the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house; the eastern gate, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, interpret it: here Baruch read his roll,
in the ears of all the people; that were in the court; so that being in a chamber, he must read out of the chamber window, or in a balcony before it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Gemariah seems to have inherited his fatherâs office of public scribe or secretary of state (see 2 Kings 22:3). As brother of Ahikam, he would be favorable to Jeremiah.
The higher court - The inner court; into which it was not lawful for the people to enter, but the chamber probably itself formed one of its sides, and could be approached from the outer court.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 36:10. In the chamber of Gemariah — He was one of the princes of Judah. See Jeremiah 36:12.
