12–16 In these verses the Lord commends the Recabites’ faithfulness to their ancestor; at the same time, He condemns the unfaithfulness of the people of Judah. The ancestor Jonadab had spoken once, and his descendants had obeyed; the Lord had spoken again and again, and still His people disobeyed (verse 14).
17–19 God once again pronounces judgment on Judah. But on the Recabites, God pronounces a blessing: “Jonadab . . . will never fail to have a man to serve me” (verse 19). This was like the promise given to David (Jeremiah 33:17), a promise of family continuity. The Recabites were now to enjoy the promise given to the kings of Judah—at a time when those same kings were in danger of extinction!
