Clarke's Jeremiah 20:1 Bible Commentary
Pashur - chief governor - Pashur was probably one of the chief priests of the twenty-four classes.
Barnes's Jeremiah 20:1 Bible Commentary
Pashur, the father probably of the Gedaliah mentioned in Jeremiah 38:1, was the head of the 16th course (shift) of priests (marginal reference); the other Pashur Jeremiah 21:1 belonged to the fifth course, the sons of Melchiah. Both these houses returned in great strength from the exile. See Ezra 2:37-38.
Chief governor - Or, "deputy governor." The Nagid or governer of the temple was the high priest 1 Chronicles 9:11, and Pashur was his Pakid, i. e., deputy (see Jeremiah 1:10 note). Zephaniah held this office Jeremiah 29:26, and his relation to the high priest is exactly defined 2 Kings 25:18; Jeremiah 52:24. The Nagid at this time was Seraiah the high priest, the grandson of Hilkiah, or (possibly) Azariah, Hilkiah's son and Jeremiah's brother 1 Chronicles 6:13, Ezra 7:1.
Wesley's Jeremiah 20:1 Bible Commentary
20:1 Immer - The course of Immer was the sixteenth course of the priests, 1 Chronicles 24:14 .Pashur was his son, that is descended from him.
