Verse 1
Jer 20:1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who [was] also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
Ver. 1. Now Pashur the son of Immer, ] i.e., One of the posterity of Immer, after many generations. See 1 Chronicles 24:14 .
Who was also chief governor. ] Not high priest, as some have said, but a principal priest, haply the head of the sixteenth course; or, as Junius and others think, the high priest’s vicar, or second. Such as was Eleazar to Aaron his father. Num 4:16
Heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. ] Or, Heard Jeremiah prophesying; and having gall in his ears, as they say some creatures have, he was galled at the hearing of so smart a truth.
