When the tribe of Judah left Jericho— the city of palms— the Kenites, who were descendants of Moses’ father in law, traveled with them into the wilderness of Judah. They settled among the people there, near the town of Arad in the Negev.

When Jehu left there, he met Jehonadab son of Recab, who was coming to meet him. After they had greeted each other, Jehu said to him,“ Are you as loyal to me as I am to you?”“ Yes, I am,” Jehonadab replied.“ If you are,” Jehu said,“ then give me your hand.” So Jehonadab put out his hand, and Jehu helped him into the chariot.

Therefore, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ Jehonadab son of Recab will always have descendants who serve me.’”

Take them into one of the inner rooms, and offer them some wine.”So I went to see Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah and all his brothers and sons— representing all the Recabite families.I took them to the Temple, and we went into the room assigned to the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God. This room was located next to the one used by the Temple officials, directly above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the Temple gatekeeper.I set cups and jugs of wine before them and invited them to have a drink,but they refused.“ No,” they said,“ we don’t drink wine, because our ancestor Jehonadab son of Recab gave us this command:‘ You and your descendants must never drink wine.And do not build houses or plant crops or vineyards, but always live in tents. If you follow these commands, you will live long, good lives in the land.’So we have obeyed him in all these things. We have never had a drink of wine to this day, nor have our wives, our sons, or our daughters.

Saul sent this warning to the Kenites:“ Move away from where the Amalekites live, or you will die with them. For you showed kindness to all the people of Israel when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites packed up and left.
