Smith's Bible Dictionary

Jonadab

(whom Jehovah impels).

Son of Shimeah and nephew of David. (B.C. 1033.) He is described as "very subtle." (2 Samuel 13:3) His age naturally made him the friend of his cousin Amnon, heir to the throne. (2 Samuel 13:3) He gave him the fatal advice for ensnaring his sister Tamar. ch (2 Samuel 13:5,6) Again, when, in a later stage of the same tragedy, Amnon was murdered by Absalom, and the exaggerated report reached David that all the princes were slaughtered, Jonadab was already aware of the real state of the case. (2 Samuel 13:32,33)
(Jeremiah 35:6,8,10,14,16,18,19) [JEHONADAB]

ATS Bible Dictionary

Jonadab

1.A SON OF Shimeah, the cunning and unprincipled nephew of David, and friend of Amnon, 2 Samuel 13:3-5. Yet he seems to have been long aware of the purpose of Absalom to avenge his sister's dishonor upon Amnon, and very coolly excused the assassination of his friend, 2 Samuel 13:32-35.

2. A son of Rechab, a Kenite, descended from Hobab the brother of Moses. He was at the head of the Rechabites in the time of Jehu, and seems to have given them a command to abstain from wine, 2 Kings 10:15 1 Chronicles 2:55 Jeremiah 35:6-10. See RECHABITES.

(1.) The son of Rechab, and founder of the Rechabites (q.v.), 2 Kings 10:15; Jeremiah 35:6, 10.
