Also known as Habaziniah
Habazziniah is mentioned in Jer.35.3 as the grandfather of Jaazaniah, who was a leader of the Rechabites during the time of the prophet Jeremiah. The Rechabites were a nomadic tribe known for their strict adherence to the commands of their ancestor, Jonadab son of Rechab. They abstained from drinking wine, planting crops, and living in permanent dwellings (Jer.35.6-7). Jeremiah used the Rechabites' obedience to their ancestor's commands as an example to contrast with the disobedience of the people of Judah to God's commands (Jer.35.12-19).
