Theological / Devotional

Jabez. A town, probably somewhere in Judah. Nothing else is known concerning the three families of scribes.

House of Rechab. At the time of Jeremiah the Rechabites occupied an honored position among the Jews (Jer. 35:2-19). Jehonadab the Rechabite took a strong stand with Jehu against the worship of Baal (2 Kings 10:23). Malchiah the Rechabite was an overseer of one of the districts of Judah during the time of Nehemiah (Neh. 3:14).
