エレミヤ書 35:18 JCB

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 35:18

"And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, according to all that he commanded you; therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever."Attempts to pinpoint the fulfillment of this promise to the Rechabites have been made, but not very convincingly. Nevertheless, we know... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 35:1-19

Jeremiah’s Nineteenth Prophecy (Reign of Jehoiakim). The Obedience of the RechabitesThis and Jeremiah 36 form a break in the narrative, bringing us back from the tenth year of Zedekiah to the insecurity which followed upon Nebuchadnezzars victory of Carchemish (fourth year of Jehoiakim), when predatory bands of Chaldeans and others had compelled many of the inhabitants of Palestine to take refuge within Jerusalem. Among these were the Rechabites, a nomadic tribe of Kenite descent. The prophet... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 35:18

(18) Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father.—The words decide nothing as to the obligation of the commandment referred to upon others. The law which Jeremiah received as given by God laid down no such rule of life. A righteous life was possible without it (Jeremiah 22:15; Matthew 11:19). What he was taught to praise was the steadfastness and loyalty with which they adhered to a merely human precept, not at variance with the letter of any divine law, and designed, like the... read more

CHAPTER IVTHE RECHABITESJeremiah 35:1-19"Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before Me forever."- Jeremiah 35:19THIS incident is dated "in the days of Jehoiakim." We learn from Jeremiah 35:11 that it happened at a time when the open country of Judah was threatened by the advance of Nebuchadnezzar with a Chaldean and Syrian army. If Nebuchadnezzar marched into the south of Palestine immediately after the battle of Carchemish, the incident may have happened, as some suggest,... read more

CHAPTER 35 The Faithful Rechabites and the Unfaithful Jews 1. The command concerning the Rechabites (Jeremiah 35:1-11 ) 2. The lesson for the Jews (Jeremiah 35:12-19 ) The Rechabites were Kenites and were numbered with the children of Israel 1 Chronicles 2:55 . During the reign of Jehoiakim the incident of this chapter happened. The critics may rave against the “unchronological” construction of Jeremiah jumping from one period into another, but there we see the guiding hand of the Spirit... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 35:1-19

MORE MESSAGES FOR JEHOIAKIM This lesson opens with the story of the Rechabites (chap. 35). Jeremiah 35:6-7 show the origin of their name and their “order,” to quote a modern term. The principles of the latter were (1) abstinence form strong drink; (2) voluntary poverty; and (3) a nomadic life. Jeremiah 35:11 gives the explanation of their presence in Jerusalem. Jeremiah 35:12-17 furnish the cause for Jeremiah’s action in the premises, who is to use these followers of Rechab as a kind of... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 35:1-19

The Rechabites Jeremiah 35:0 This part of the prophecy takes us back to the earlier years of Jeremiah's life and work. Jerusalem had not been besieged, and Jehoiakim the king had not filled up the cup of his iniquity. The Lord wished to read the king and the people of Judah a solemn lesson; and he preferred to do so by way of example rather than by way of precept. He took what to us appears to be an extraordinary course; but the issue proved that the course which the Almighty adopted was... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 35:12-19

Here we have the application of the history, as the Lord intended it, to Judah and Jerusalem: and a close heart-felt application it is. Reader! do not fail to observe the graciousness of the Lord to his people under all their unworthiness. Was there ever a nation or people so blessed! Was there ever a nation or people so rebellious! How the Chapter closeth, and what blessings to faithfulness are read to us in it! The Lord make it profitable. For if the Lord was well pleased with affection and... read more
