Jeremiah 35:4

I took them to the Lord’s temple. I took them into the room where the disciples of the prophet Hanan son of Igdaliah stayed. ¹  That room was next to the one where the temple officers stayed and above the room where Maaseiah son of Shallum, one of the doorkeepers ²  of the temple, stayed.

De 33:1; Jos 14:6; 1Sa 2:27; 1Sa 9:6-8; 1Ki 12:22; 1Ki 13:1,26; 1Ki 17:18,24; 1Ki 20:28; 2Ki 1:9,11-13; 2Ki 5:14,20; 2Ki 6:10; 2Ki 7:2,17; 2Ki 8:2-8; 2Ki 12:9; 2Ki 23:16,17; 2Ki 25:18; 1Ch 9:18,19,27; 2Ch 8:14; 2Ch 25:7-9; Ps 84:10; Jer 26:10; Jer 36:10-12; Jer 52:24; Eze 43:8; 1Ti 6:11; 2Ti 3:17

¹ tn Heb “the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, the man of God.” The reference to “sons” and to “man of God” fits the usage of these terms elsewhere to refer to prophets and their disciples (see BDB 43-44 s.v. אֱלֹהִים 3(b) and compare usage in 2 Kgs 4:40 for the former and BDB 121 s.v. בֵּן 7.a and compare the usage in 2 Kgs 4:38 for the latter).

² sn According to Jer 52:24; 2 Kgs 25:18 there were three officers who carried out this duty. It was their duty to guard the entrance of the temple to keep people out that did not belong there, such as those who were foreigners or ritually unclean (see 2 Kgs 12:9 and compare Ps 118:19-20).
