Contextual Overview

1 When Jehoiakim was king of Judah, the Lord told me, 2 "Go to the Rechabite clan and invite them to meet you in one of the side rooms of the temple. When they arrive, offer them a drink of wine." 3 So I went to Jaazaniah, the leader of the clan, and I invited him and all the men of his clan. 4 I brought them into the temple courtyard and took them upstairs to a room belonging to the prophets who were followers of Hanan son of Igdaliah. It was next to a room belonging to some of the officials, and that room was over the one belonging to Maaseiah, a priest who was one of the high officials in the temple. 5 I set out some large bowls full of wine together with some cups, and then I said to the Rechabites, "Have some wine!" 6 But they answered: No! The ancestor of our clan, Jonadab son of Rechab, made a rule that we must obey. He said, "Don't ever drink wine 7 or build houses or plant crops and vineyards. Instead, you must always live in tents and move from place to place. If you obey this command, you will live a long time." 8Our clan has always obeyed Jonadab's command. To this very day, we and our wives and sons and daughters don't drink wine or build houses or plant vineyards or crops. And we have lived in tents, 11 except now we have to live inside Jerusalem because Nebuchadnezzar has taken over the countryside with his army from Babylonia and Syria.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord,.... Not as following the former prophecies; for they must be delivered seventeen years after this. The prophecies of Jeremiah are not put together in their proper time in which they were delivered. The preceding prophecies were delivered in the "tenth" and "eleventh" years of Zedekiah's reign: but this

in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; in what part of his reign is not certain; but it must be after Nebuchadnezzar had invaded the land, Jeremiah 35:11; very probably in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, after he had been the king of Babylon's servant three years, and rebelled against him, 2 Kings 24:1;

saying; as follows:

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXV

Jeremiah is commanded to go to the Rechabites, who, on the

approach of the Chaldean army, took refuge in Jerusalem; and to

try their obedience to the command of Jonadab, (or Jehonadab,

Jeremiah 35:2; Jeremiah 10:15; Jeremiah 10:16,)

their great progenitor, who lived in the reign of Jehu, king of

Israel, upwards of two hundred and fifty years before this

time, offers them wine to drink, which they refuse, 1-11.

Hence occasion is taken to upbraid the Jews with their

disobedience to God, their heavenly Father, 12-17;

and a blessing is pronounced on the Rechabites, 18, 19.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXXV

Verse Jeremiah 35:1. The word which came - in the days of Jehoiakim — What strange confusion in the placing of these chapters! Who could have expected to hear of Jehoiakim again, whom we have long ago buried; and we have now arrived in the history at the very last year of the last Jewish king.

This discourse was probably delivered in the fourth or fifth year of Jehoiakim's reign.
