Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 35:17

Therefore, the Lord was going to bring upon the people all the disaster that He had previously warned them about. They had not listened to Him when He spoke to them, or answered Him when He called to them."Notice the telling contrasts between the Recabites and Judah."1. The Recabites obeyed a fallible leader (Jeremiah 35:14); Judah’s leader was the eternal God (cf. Malachi 1:6)."2. Jonadab gave his commands to the Recabites only once; God repeatedly sent his messages to his people (Jeremiah... read more

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 35:17

(17) Because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard.—The prophet in part reproduces his own earlier complaint from Jeremiah 7:13; Jeremiah 25:7, a complaint which has been the ever-recurring burden of all teachers of wisdom (Proverbs 1:24) and of all true prophets (Isaiah 65:12; Isaiah 66:4). 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

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 35:17

35:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have {l} spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.(l) That is, by his prophets and ministers which shows that it is as much, as though he would speak to us himself when he sends his ministers to speak in his Name. 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

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
