Jeremiah 35:1 In-Context

1 [This is] the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:
2 "Go to the house of the Rechabites, speak to them, and bring them to one of the chambers of the temple of the Lord to offer them a drink of wine."
3 So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons-the entire house of the Rechabites-
4 and I brought them into the temple of the Lord to a chamber [occupied by] the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, who had a chamber near the officials' chamber, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum the doorkeeper.
5 I set jars filled with wine and some cups before the sons of the house of the Rechabites and said to them, "Drink wine!"
