According to the prophet Jeremiah, a message from God was written down and a man named Jehudi read it aloud to the king and his helpers so they could understand what God wanted them to know. It's like reading an important letter to everyone in the room.
Jeremiah 36:21: So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
Contradicts because it later declares Jehoiakim's lineage will not prosper, while Jeremiah 36:21 discusses his authoritative action, implying continued rule.
Jeremiah 36:30: Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
