Usage: The name Rekab appears in the context of several individuals in the Old Testament, primarily associated with the Kenites and the tribe of Benjamin. Context: • Rekab, the Father of Jehonadab: Rekab is most notably recognized as the father of Jehonadab (also spelled Jonadab), who was a prominent figure during the reign of King Jehu of Israel. Jehonadab is known for his zealous support of Jehu in eradicating the worship of Baal from Israel. The descendants of Rekab, known as the Rechabites, are noted for their adherence to a nomadic lifestyle and strict abstinence from wine, as commanded by Jehonadab. This is highlighted in Jeremiah 35, where the Rechabites' faithfulness to their ancestral commands is contrasted with the disobedience of the people of Judah.
