エレミヤ書 35:18 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 35:12-19

The trial of the Rechabites? constancy was intended but for a sign; now here we have the application of it. I. The Rechabites? observance of their father's charge to them is made use of as an aggravation of the disobedience of the Jews to God. Let them see it and be ashamed. The prophet asks them, in God's name, ?Will you not at length receive instruction? Jer. 35:13. Will nothing affect you? Will nothing fasten upon you? Will nothing prevail to discover sin and duty to you? You see how... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 35:18

And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites ,.... To the family of them, to those that were with him in the temple, and while they were there; and what he said to them, which is as follows, was by the order and direction of the Lord: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; he uses the same titles, when speaking to them, as to the Jews, expressive of his sovereignty, power, and grace: because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father ; that particular... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 35:18

Verse 18 Here the Prophet, that he might affect the Jews more deeply, promises a reward to the sons of Jonadab, because they obeyed their father; and he promises them a blessing from God. Nor is it to be wondered at, for this commandment, as Paul says, is the first to which a promise is annexed. (Ephesians 6:2) God promises generally a reward to all who keep the Law, for every command has in general connected with it the hope of reward; but this is in a special manner added to the Fifth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 35:18-19

A promise to the Rechabites (perhaps removed from its original connection). The form of the promise is remarkable; it runs, Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever. The phrase is, as Dr. Plumptre remarks, "all but essentially liturgical. It is used of the Levites ( Deuteronomy 10:8 ; Deuteronomy 18:5 , Deuteronomy 18:7 ), of the worship of the patriarchs ( Genesis 19:27 ), of the priests ( 1 Kings 8:11 ; 2 Chronicles 29:11 ; Nehemiah 7:65 ), of... read more

The blessing of the Rechabites. I. WHAT IT INCLUDED . It is very startling to find that their blessing is precisely that which is pronounced upon the spiritual Israel of the future. There are two factors in the blessing. 1 . Continuity of the fatally. 2 . Perpetuation of its religious standing and moral character: "To stand before me forever. It is said that descendants of the Rechabites have been discovered in Yocan, and that they still observe the strict regimen of... read more

Rewards of filial piety. We have an instance here. Literally, the promise annexed to the commandment, "Honour thy father," etc; was fulfilled; for their "days were long in the land which the Lord their God gave them." Now— I. THERE ARE SUCH REWARDS . 1 . Promised in God's Word (cf. passim). 2 . Visible in happy home life. 3 . Perpetuated in prosperous communities, nations, etc. 4 . Sanctioned by the laws of nature, of man, and of God. II. THEY ARE THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 35:18-19

God's recognition of the Rechabite obedience. This is just in accordance with what we might expect. The Rechabites, when they have been used to put Israel to shame, are not allowed to go away without a sufficient stamp on their noble conduct. The Divine estimate of that conduct is sufficiently shown by the words Jeremiah is authorized to speak. I. GOD WILL ALWAYS RECOGNIZE A SPIRIT OF OBEDIENCE . Here we lay emphasis, not so much on actual obedience, as on a spirit of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 35:18-19

Jeremiah 35:18-19. Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, &c. Mercy is here promised to the family of the Rechabites for their steady and unanimous adherence to the laws of their house. Though it was only for the shaming of Israel that their constancy was tried, yet, being unshaken, God takes occasion from it to tell them that he had blessings in reserve for them. Jonadab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever “The meaning of this promise,” says Blaney, “in its full... 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
