JONADAB

1. King David’s nephew, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. As a friend to David’s son Amnon, he devised a scheme by which Amnon seduced his half sister Tamar (2 Sm 13:3-5). Absalom, Tamar’s brother, sought revenge, eventually killing Amnon.

2. Recab’s son; descendant of the Kenites (1 Chr 2:55; NLT “Jehonadab”). He founded the religious order of Recabites, who maintained a nomadic tradition. He encouraged Jehu in his bloody reform of the house of Ahab (2 Kgs 10:15, 23).
