	Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on the Bible (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Rechabites' observance of their father's charge to them is made use of as an aggravation of the disobedience of the Jews to God.
		The Rechabites were obedient to one who was but a man like themselves, who had but the wisdom and power of a man, and was only the father of their flesh; but the Jews were disobedient to an infinite and eternal God, who had an absolute authority over them, as the Father of their spirits.
		The Rechabites were never put in mind of their obligations to their father; but God often sent his prophets to his people, to put them in mind of their duty to him, and yet they would not do it.

		In this chapter the disobedience of the people of the Jews unto God is aggravated by the obedience of the Rechabites to their father; and the one are threatened with the judgments of God upon them, and the other have a promise of the divine blessing.
		The Targum calls him a treasurer; one of the seven "amarcalim," who had the keys of several chambers, where the vessels of the sanctuary and other things were put; and Kimchi observes, the word we render door comprehends the vessels of the sanctuary, and the vessels of wine, and other things.
		Perhaps, since these Rechabites were proselytes, and not Israelites, the conversion of the Gentiles may be respected; who are priests in a spiritual sense, and minister before the Lord, offering up, through Christ, the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise; and such a generation to serve the Lord will never be wanting.

		The Rechabites, therefore, dwelt in the city Jerusalem, which protected them from the incursions and violence of enemies; but they still retained their ancient mode of living in abstaining from wine, and in not cultivating either fields or vineyards.
		But the Rechabites, no doubt, modestly excused themselves, when they said that it was not right for them to drink wine, because they had been forbidden by their father.
		We said in the last Lecture that the example of the Rechabites is brought forward, not for the purpose of commending their obedience, as though it were some great virtue, but only that the Prophet might reprove the Jews for rendering less honor to the living God, than the Rechabites did to their dead father.

		However, because The History of the Rechabites is a Jewish pseudepigraphon within the work as a whole the view still of others (Charlesworth and McNeil) is that the Story was added to an already existing document which contained the story of the Rechabites.
		The whole plot of the Story of Zosimus and of the History of the Rechabites is centred around a man who visits an island and discovers that the occupants there are none other than the Blessed Ones who, to his amazement, are the precursors to the monasticism of the early Church, namely the Rechabites.
