Commentary
8 notes on this verseAnd I brought them into the house of the Lord,.... Into the temple, as he was ordered; that is, he invited them thither, and they came along with him, having, no doubt, a respect for him as a prophet; and the rather, as it is highly probable he came in the name of the Lord to them: into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God; a prophet, as the Targum and Syriac version; and so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it.
This site's exposition
This is the word that came
on Jeremiah 35:1-5
Jeremiah brings “the entire house of the Rechabites” into a chamber and sets “pitchers full of wine and some cups” before them. The date, “in the days of Jehoiakim,” places the scene earlier than the Zedekiah oracles around it. The scene prepares a contrast between the clan's obedience and Judah's.
This site's exposition
a chamber occupied by the sons of Hanan
The room belonged to the sons of Hanan, a man of God, and Barnes takes them as his disciples, friendly enough to lend their hall. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown add that Hanan's standing kept anyone from questioning what was done there. The council chamber of the officials stood next door.

The title man of God, i. e., prophet, belongs to Hanan, identified by many with Hanani 2Ch 16:7. The sons of Hanan were probably his disciples. If so, we find a religious school or sect, regularly established in the precincts of the temple, of whose views and modes of interpretation we know nothing. Plainly however, the Hananites were friendly to Jeremiah, and lent him their hall for his purpose. The chamber of the princes - Probably the council-chamber in which the great officers of state met for the despatch of business.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)
He was so reverenced that none would call in question what was transacted in his chamber. 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, &c.
Igdaliah, a man of God - A prophet or holy man, having some office in the temple.
