And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
Hanan ... a man of God - a prophet (Moses, Deuteronomy 33:1; 1 Samuel 2:27; Shemaiah in Rehoboam's reign, 1 Kings 12:22; Elisha, 2 Kings 4:7); also 'a servant of God' in general (1 Timothy 6:11); one not his own; but Gods; one who has parted with all right in himself, to give himself wholly to God (2 Timothy 3:17). He was so reverenced that none would call in question what was transacted in his chamber.
Maaseiah ... keeper of the door - Hebrew, of the vessel. Probably the office meant is that of the priest who kept in charge the capitation money paid for the use of the temple, and the votive offerings, such as silver vessels, etc. There were seven such keepers (Grotius). Compare 2 Kings 12:9; 2 Kings 25:18; 1 Chronicles 9:18-19, which support the English version.
I said ... Drink. Jeremiah does not say the Lord saith Drink, because then they would have been bound to obey. Contrast the case (1 Kings 13:7-26) where the, Lord had said to the prophet out of Judah, "Eat no bread, nor drink water," etc.
