gemariah - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Gemariah
  Jehovah has made perfect. (1.) The son of Shaphan, and one of
  the Levites of the temple in the time of Jehoiakim (Jer. 36:10;
  2 Kings 22:12). Baruch read aloud to the people from Gemariah's
  chamber, and again in the hearing of Gemariah and other scribes,
  the prophecies of Jeremiah (Jer. 36:11-20), which filled him
  with terror. He joined with others in entreating the king not to
  destroy the roll of the prophecies which Baruch had read
  (21-25).
  
    (2.) The son of Hilkiah, who accompanied Shaphan with the
  tribute-money from Zedekiah to Nebuchadnezzar, and was the
  bearer at the same time of a letter from Jeremiah to the Jewish
  captives at Babylon (Jer. 29:3, 4).
