The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 35:16
Because , etc. This rendering is against Hebrew usage, and any reader will see that the obedience of the Rechabites stands in no inner connection with the sentence pronounced upon Judah. Jeremiah 35:16 is rather an emphatic recapitulation of what has preceded. It runs literally, ( I say ) that the sons of Jonadab have performed, etc; but ( that ) this people hath not hearkened unto me; or, in more English phraseology, "Yea, the sons of Jonadab," etc. read more

Jeremiah 35:12-16. Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah As the trial of the constancy of the Rechabites was only intended for a sign, so now we have the application of it made by God himself. Tell the men of Judah, Will ye not receive instruction? &c. Will nothing enlighten or affect you? Will nothing prevail to make you sensible of your sin and duty? You see how obedient the Rechabites are to their father’s commandment; but you have not hearkened unto me Though it might... read more

Jeremiah 35:17. Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, &c. Because they have not obeyed the precepts of my word, I will therefore perform the threatenings of it. I will bring upon Judah, &c. Namely, by the Chaldean army; all the evil that I have pronounced against them Both in the law and in the prophets; because I have spoken unto them, and called unto them Tried all ways and means to convince and reduce them; spoken by my word, called by my providence, and both in order to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 35:1-19
35:1-45:5 EVENTS IN JUDAH AND EGYPTA lesson from the Rechabites (35:1-19)Events recorded in the book of Jeremiah are not in chronological order, and Jeremiah now takes the readers back to the reign of Jehoiakim. He recounts a story concerning the Rechabites, a community of local tribal people who lived peaceably among the Israelites (1 Chronicles 2:55). The Rechabites were forbidden by their long-standing customs to drink wine. They were true worshippers of Yahweh and were fiercely anti-Baal... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 35:12-17
Rechabites unconsciously reproving Israelites. I. HOW FAR THE MEN OF JUDAH WERE REALLY CONDEMNED ; i.e. How far were the cases really parallel? The first question to be asked is—Were the men of Judah as able to obey the commandments of Jehovah as the Rechabites were to obey the precept of Jonadab? and, of course, the answer is that for many reasons they were not. But passing this over for the present, let us notice the one respect in which Israelites were lamentably... read more
