The message that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Malchijah's son Pashhur and Maaseiah's son Zephaniah the priest:
Mattan's son Shephatiah, Pashhur's son Gedaliah, Shelemiah's son Jucal, and Malchijah's son Pashhur heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking to all the people: "This is what the LORD says: "Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, by famine, and by the plague, but the one who goes over to the Chaldeans will live. His life will be spared, and he will live.' read more. This is what the LORD says: "This city will surely be given to the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.'" Then the officials told the king, "Let this man be put to death because he's undermining the efforts of the soldiers who remain in this city and that of all the people by speaking words like these to them. Indeed, this man is not seeking the well-being of this people, but rather their harm." King Zedekiah said, "Look, he's in your hands, and the king can do nothing to you." So they threw Jeremiah into a cistern that belonged to the king's son Malchijah and was located in the courtyard of the guard. When they let Jeremiah down with ropes, because there was no water in the cistern only mud Jeremiah sank into the mud.

release. (1.) The son of Immer (probably the same as Amariah, Ne 10:3; 12:2), the head of one of the priestly courses, was "chief governor [Heb paqid nagid, meaning "deputy governor"] of the temple" (Jer 20:1-2). At this time the nagid, or "governor," of the temple was Seraiah the high priest (1Ch 6:14), and Pashur was his paqid, or "deputy." Enraged at the plainness with which Jeremiah uttered his solemn warnings of coming judgements, because of the abounding iniquity of the times, Pashur ordered the temple police to seize him, and after inflicting on him corporal punishment (forty stripes save one, De 25:3; comp. 2Co 11:24), to put him in the stocks in the high gate of Benjamin, where he remained all night. On being set free in the morning, Jeremiah went to Pashur (Jer 20:3,5), and announced to him that God had changed his name to Magor-missabib, i.e., "terror on every side." The punishment that fell upon him was probably remorse, when he saw the ruin he had brought upon his country by advising a close alliance with Egypt in opposition to the counsels of Jeremiah (Jer 20:4-6). He was carried captive to Babylon, and died there.
(2.) A priest sent by king Zedekiah to Jeremiah to inquire of the Lord (1Ch 24:9; Jer 21:1; 38:1-6). He advised that the prophet should be put to death.
(3.) The father of Gedaliah. He was probably the same as (1).

1. Jer 20:1-6. A priest, Immer's son, of the 16th order (1Ch 9:12), "chief governor in the house of the Lord." There were 24 in all: 16 of Eleazar's sons, eight of Ithamar's, answering (Lu 22:4) to the captains of the temple (1Ch 24:14). Smote and put in the stocks Jeremiah for foretelling Jerusalem's desolation. On the following day Jeremiah, when brought out of the stocks, foretold that he should be not Pashur but Magor-Missabib, a terror to himself and his friends; he and all in his house, and all his friends to whom he had "prophesied lies" (Jer 5:31; 18:18), should go into captivity and die in Babylon.
2. Jer 21:1,9; 38:1-2,6; 1Ch 24:9,14; Ne 11:12. (See MAGOR-MISSABIB.) The house was a chief one in Nehemiah's time (Ne 7:41; 10:3; 12:2). He was sent by Zedekiah to consult Jeremiah on the issue of Nebuchadnezzar's threatened attack, and received a reply foreboding Judah's overthrow. Subsequently, after the respite caused by Pharaoh Hophra had ended and the Chaldees returned to the siege, Pashur was one who besought the king to kill Jeremiah for weakening the hands of the men of war by dispiriting prophecies, and who cast the prophet into the pit of Malchiah.
3. Jer 38:1.

1. One of the families of priests of the chief house of Malchijah.
1Ch 9:12; 24:9; Ne 11:12; Jer 21:1; 38:1
In the time of Nehemiah this family appears to have become a chief house, and its head the head of a course.
The individual from whom the family was named was probably Pushur the son of Malchiah, who in the reign of Zedekiah was one of the chief princes of the court.
(B.C. 607.) He was sent, with others, by Zedekiah to Jeremiah at the time when Nebuchudnezzar was preparing his attack upon Jerusalem.
... Again somewhat later Pashur joined with several other chief men in petitioning the king that Jeremiah might be put to death as a traitor.
2. Another person of this name, also a priest, and "chief governor of the house of the Lord," is mentioned in
He is described as "the son of Immer."
probably the same as Amariah.
etc. In the reign of Jehoiakim he showed himself as hostile to Jeremiah as his namesake the son of Malchiah did afterward, and put him in the stocks by the gate of Benjamin. For this indignity to God's prophet Pashur was told by Jeremiah that his name was changed to Magor-missabib (terror on every side) and that he and all his house should be carried captives to Babylon and there die.
(B.C. 589.)
