Immer was the name of a priestly division during the time of David, and his descendants served as priests in the post-exilic period.
Immer was the head of the sixteenth priestly division organized by King David for temple service (1 Chronicles 24:14). The priestly family that bore his name is attested across multiple periods: priests of the Immer family served in Jerusalem before the exile, and descendants of Immer are listed among those who returned from Babylon under Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:37; Nehemiah 7:40). One man named Pashhur son of Immer is the priest who had Jeremiah beaten and placed in stocks (Jeremiah 20:1), illustrating the family's prominence in the pre-exilic Jerusalem priesthood.
