Commentaries on Jeremiah 35:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1The word which came - in the days of Jehoiakim - What strange confusion in the placing of these chapters!

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

Rechabites--a…Read the comment
