Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
10:15 Jeremiah portrays Jehonadab as head of a group of desert nomads who spent their lives in protest against the decadent religion of society (Jer 35). Recab was a Kenite (1 Chr 2:55). While the nomadic Kenites were concentrated in southern Judah, some lived in Galilee (Judg 4:17; 5:24). Their opposition to the apostasy of the royal house may have led them to welcome Jehu as a rescuer and reformer.
