PASHUR
1. The son of Immer, a priest and a chief officer in the temple; he violently opposed the prophet Jeremiah, and persecuted him even with blows and confinement in the stocks; but all recoiled on his own head, Jeremiah 1:20-6.
2. The son of Malchiah, an enemy of Jeremiah, and active in securing his imprisonment, Jeremiah 21:1; Jeremiah 1:38. Many descendants of this Pashur returned from captivity at Babylon, 1 Chronicles 9:12; Ezra 2:38.
