Jeremiah 35:1 Summary
[Jeremiah 35:1 tells us that Jeremiah received a message from God during the time Jehoiakim was king of Judah, which helps us understand when these events took place in history. This is similar to how other prophets, like Isaiah and Ezekiel, received their callings from God (Isaiah 6:1-13, Ezekiel 1:1-3). The fact that God spoke to Jeremiah shows us that God is always talking to His people, even in difficult times. We can learn from Jeremiah's example by being open to hearing God's voice and obeying His commands, just as Jeremiah did.]

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 35:1
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord,.... Not as following the former prophecies; for they must be delivered seventeen years after this.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 35:1
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, By the obedience of the Rechabites to their father, Jeremiah condemns the
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 35:1
CHAPTER 35 By the obedience of the Rechabites, , God condemneth the Jews’ disobedience, . The Rechabites are blessed, ,19. This is another evidence that the prophecies of this book are not left us in that order wherein they were delivered, for those which we had in the two or three foregoing chapters being in the time of Zedekiah must needs be ten or eleven years after this.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 35:1
Jeremiah 35:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,Ver. 1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord.] The eighteenth sermon, ordine tamen arbitario non naturali, delivered various years before the former, and here placed, not in its proper order, but as it pleased him that collected them into this book.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 35:1
XXXV. (1) In the days Jehoiakim.—The prophecy that follows carries us back over a period of about seventeen of years to the earlier period of the prophet’s life and work. Jerusalem was not yet besieged. Jehoiakim had not filled up the measure of his iniquities. The armies of the Chaldæans were, however, in the meantime moving on the outskirts of the kingdom of Judah (Jeremiah 35:11) or were driving the nomad inhabitants, who had hitherto dwelt in tents, to take refuge in the cities. The first capture of the city by Nebuchadnezzar was in B.C. 607.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 35:1
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 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.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 35:1
1. The word which came … in the days of Jehoiakim] This and the following chapter form a remarkable break in the narrative of chs. 32–44. They at once bring us back from the tenth year of the reign of Zedekiah to the later part of Jehoiakim’s reign, when the Babylonian army had entered Palestine and compelled many of its inhabitants to take refuge within Jerusalem. Among these were the Rechabites.
