The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 35:6-10

The filial obedience of the Rechabites. There is something very remarkable in this simple history. Originally aliens in race ( 1 Chronicles 2:55 ), they gained a place in the land of Israel ( 1:16 ). Jonadab the son of Rechab, the ancestor of the race, was the true founder of the family. His character was so high that Jehu affected his company in order to gain esteem from the people ( 2 Kings 10:15 , 2 Kings 10:16 ). From him their ascetic rule of life was received, and they had... read more

Jeremiah 35:8-11. Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab our father We have conformed ourselves to his injunctions, and governed our lives by them, during the space of nearly three hundred years. But when Nebuchadrezzar came, &c., we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem The Rechabites appear to have retired within the walls of Jerusalem upon the hostile approach of Nebuchadnezzar and his army, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim. Calmet, indeed, supposes it was not till the latter end of... 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

8. all that he . . . charged us . . . all our days, we . . . wives . . . sons . . . daughters—unreserved obedience in all particulars, at all times, and on the part of all, without exception: in these respects Israel's obedience to God was wanting.

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 35:6-8

(6-8) We will drink no wine . . .—We have here, as it were, the rule of the tribe or order which looked to Jonadab as its founder. Like Samson (Judges 13:4-5), Samuel (inferentially from 1 Samuel 1:11; 1 Samuel 1:15), and the Baptist (Luke 1:15), they were life-long Nazarites (Numbers 6:1-6). Jonadab’s intention was obviously to keep them as a separate people, retaining their nomadic form of life, free from the contamination of cities, or the temptations of acquired property, or the risks of... 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
