15 As he went from there, he encountered Je·honʹa·dab+ the son of Reʹchab,+ who was coming to meet him. When he greeted* him, he said to him: “Is your heart fully* with me, just as my heart is with your heart?”

Je·honʹa·dab replied: “It is.”

“If so, give me your hand.”

So he gave him his hand, and Jeʹhu pulled him up into the chariot with him.

6 But they said: “We will not drink wine, because Je·honʹa·dab*+ the son of Reʹchab, our forefather, gave us this command, ‘Neither you nor your sons must ever drink wine.

19 this is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, says: “There will never fail to be a descendant of Je·honʹa·dab* the son of Reʹchab to serve in my presence.”’”
