Context of Jeremiah 35:1

This is the message the Lord gave Jeremiah when Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah: 2“Go to the settlement where the families of the Recabites live, and invite them to the Lord’s Temple. Take them into one of the inner rooms, and offer them some wine.” 3So I went to see Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah and all his brothers and sons—representing all the Recabite families.

This discourse was probably delivered in the fourth or fifth year of Jehoiakim's reign.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1The obedience of the Rechabites. (Jr 35:1-11) The Jews' disobedience to the Lord. (Jr 35:12-19) Verses 1-11 Jonadab was famous for wisdom and piety.
