John Trapp on Jeremiah 35:2

Ver. 2. Go unto the houſe of the Rechabites] So called of one Rechab, the Father of Jonadab, who was famous for his Piety in Jehu's dayes, 2 Kings 10.15. three hundred years at leaſt before this Prophecy of Jeremy. They were of the poſterity of Jethro Moſes Father-in-Law; and lived up and down in the land upon their employments, weaned from the world and exerciſing themſelves in the Law of God: See 1 Chron. 2.55. Where they are called the families of the Scribes that dwelt at Jabez, as being men learned in the Laws of God. Of them came the Eſſenes, a ſtudious and abſtemious Sect among the Jews, and they might better then thoſe Donatiſts, have taken to themſelves the title of Apotactici, ſo called from their renouncing the world.

And give them wine to drink] Heb. make them drink wine, i. e. ſet it before them; and then leave them to their own liberty.
