Old Testament
Habazziniah
A descendant of the Rechabites mentioned by Jeremiah during the reign of Jehoiakim.
Habazziniah is identified in Jeremiah 35:3 as the son of Jeremiah and the father of Jaazaniah. He belongs to the Rechabite clan, a group noted for their strict adherence to the ancestral command to abstain from wine and settled life. His mention serves to establish the genealogical lineage of the Rechabites whose faithfulness to their father's commands contrasts with Israel's disobedience to God.
