("prosperity everywhere") (Gesenius).
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 (Luk_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; Jer_18:18), should go into captivity and die in Babylon.
2. Jer_21:1; Jer_21:9; Jer_38:1-2; Jer_38:6; 1Ch_24:9; 1Ch_24:14; Neh_11:12. (See MAGOR-MISSABIB.) The house was a chief one in Nehemiah's time (Neh_7:41; Neh_10:3; Neh_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.

Pash'ur. (freedom).
1. One of the families of priests, of the chief house of Malchijah. 1Ch_9:12; 1Ch_24:9; Neh_11:12; Jer_21:1; Jer_38:1. In the time of Nehemiah, this family appears to have become a chief house, and its head, the head of a course. Ezr_2:38; Neh_7:41; Neh_10:3.
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. Jer_38:1. (B.C. 607). He was sent, with others, by Zedekiah to Jeremiah, at the time when Nebuchudnezzar was preparing his attack upon Jerusalem. Jer_21:1. Again, somewhat later, Pashur joined with several other chief men in petitioning the king, that Jeremiah might be put to death as a traitor. Jer_38:4.
2. Another person of this name, also a priest, and "chief governor of the house of the Lord," is mentioned in Jer_20:1. He is described as "the son of Immer," 1Ch_24:14, probably, the same as Amariah, 6. Neh_10:3; Neh_12:2; 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. Jer_20:1-6. (B.C. 589).

Pashur, 1
Pash?ur, son of Immer, a priest, and chief overseer of the Temple, who smote Jeremiah and put him in the stocks for his prophecies of captivity and ruin; on which the prophet was commissioned to declare that he should be one of those to go into exile, and that he and all his friends should die in Babylon, and be buried there (Jer_20:1-6).
Pashur, 2
Pashur, son of Melchiah, a high officer of King Zedekiah, and one of those at whose instance Jeremiah was cast into prison (Jer_21:1; Jer_38:1-6). A descendant of his is mentioned among the new colonists of Jerusalem after the captivity (Neh_11:12).

Pashur
[some Pa'shu/r] (Heb. Pa'shur', פֵּשְׁחוּר[Gesen., from an Arabic root, surrounded with prosperity; Furst, from a Heb. root, liberation; the etymology, as implying something favorable, seems to be referred to in Jer_20:3]; Sept. Φασχώρ, Φασούρ, v.r. Φασσούρ [Ezr_2:38; Ezr_10:22], Φασεούρ [Neh_7:41], Πασχώρ [in Jeremiah]), the name of two or three men.
1. A priest, the son of Immer, and a contemporary of Jeremiah, who acted so as to incur a severe threatening from that prophet; B.C. 607. Presuming on his position as “chief governor in the house of the Lord” (Jer_20:1) — that is, probably, being at the head of those who had the charge of maintaining order and decorum about the Temple — he smote Jeremiah, when he heard him prophesying of the desolations which were going to fall upon Jerusalem, and put him in the stocks. In this humiliating and painful situation the prophet remained for a night; and on being brought forth on the morrow, he declared to Pashur that the Lord no longer called his name Pashur, but Magor-misabib — on every side enveloped in trouble and distress. This, the prophet further intimates, was to be verified by both Pashur and his family being involved in the terrible disasters that were presently to burst on Judah and Jerusalem from the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar; they were to be all carried away into captivity to Babylon, and die in that foreign land (Jer_20:6). We have no specific account of the fortunes of the family; but the circumstances which soon took place leave no room to doubt that the prediction was verified.
2. Another priest in the time of Jeremiah, being the son of Melchiah (Jer_21:1; Jer_38:1). B.C. 589. He twice came in contact with the prophet: once when sent along with some others to inquire what was the mind of the Lord respecting the meditated assault of Nebuchadnezzar against Jerusalem, which drew forth an announcement of certain overthrow; and again when concurring with several others in an application to the king to have Jeremiah put to death on account of the denunciations he was uttering, as tending to discourage the people and produce in them a spirit of disaffection. The application led to Jeremiah's imprisonment, from which he was only delivered by the special interposition of Providence (1Ch_9:12). Pashur's family, however, were among those who returned from the captivity of Babylon, and seem to have possessed a place of importance both as to position and numbers (Neh_7:41; Neh_11:12).
3. The father of Gedaliah, which latter took part with the Pashur last named in the accusation and imprisonment of Jeremiah (Jer_38:1). B.C. 589. He was perhaps identical with one or the other of the foregoing.
