Jeremiah 35:1 In-Context

1 When Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, the Lord said to me,
2 "Go to the members of the Rechabite clan and talk to them. Then bring them into one of the rooms in the Temple and offer them some wine."
3 So I took the entire Rechabite clan - Jaazaniah (the son of another Jeremiah, who was Habazziniah's son) and all his brothers and sons -
4 and brought them to the Temple. I took them into the room of the disciples of the prophet Hanan son of Igdaliah. This room was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, an important official in the Temple, and near the rooms of the other officials.
5 Then I placed cups and bowls full of wine before the Rechabites, and I said to them, "Have some wine."
