About Pashhur
Pashhur son of Gedaliah was one of the officials who heard Jeremiah prophesying that the people should surrender to the Babylonians, according to Jer.38.1. Along with other officials, he urged King Zedekiah to put Jeremiah to death for demoralizing the soldiers and the people with his message. This Pashhur is only mentioned in this one verse and is distinct from the priest Pashhur son of Malchiah who is mentioned in the same passage.
