Jeremiah 35:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Go forth to the clan of the Rechabites[a] and speak to them. Have them accompany you into one of the rooms of the house of the Lord and offer them wine to drink.
3 Therefore, I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, his brothers and all his sons, the entire clan of the Rechabites, 4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, to the room of the sons of Hanan, son of Igdaliah, the man of God. This room adjoins the chamber of the princes and is above the room of Maaserah, the son of Shallum, the guardian of the threshold.
