He is primarily recognized for his interactions with King David's family and his role in the events surrounding the rape of Tamar. Jonadab is a son of Shimeah, David's brother, making him a nephew of King David. His account is found in the books of 2 Samuel and 2 Kings.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/2_samuel/13-3.htm">2 Samuel 13:3-5</a> :</b> <br> "But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man, and he asked Amnon, 'Why are you, the son of the king, so haggard morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?' Amnon replied, 'I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.' Jonadab said to him, 'Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, "Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so that I may watch her and eat it from her hand."'"<br><br> In this passage, Jonadab is depicted as a cunning advisor to Amnon, King David's son. His advice leads to the tragic event of Amnon's assault on his half-sister Tamar. Jonadab's role in this narrative highlights his influence and the moral complexities of his character.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/2_samuel/13-32.htm">2 Samuel 13:32-33</a> :</b> <br> "But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: 'My lord must not think that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom’s intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar. So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.'"<br><br> Here, Jonadab demonstrates his awareness of the dynamics within David's family and the consequences of Amnon's actions. His insight into Absalom's intentions reveals his perceptiveness and understanding of the unfolding events.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/2_kings/10-15.htm">2 Kings 10:15-16</a> :</b> <br> "When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, 'Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?' 'It is,' Jehonadab replied. 'If it is,' said Jehu, 'give me your hand.' So he gave him his hand, and Jehu helped him into the chariot. Then he said, 'Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD.' So he had him ride in his chariot."<br><br> In this passage, Jonadab, referred to as Jehonadab, is associated with Jehu, the king of Israel. Jehu's invitation to Jonadab to join him in his chariot signifies a partnership in Jehu's zeal for the Lord, particularly in the context of eradicating the worship of Baal from Israel. This association with Jehu highlights Jonadab's commitment to religious reform and his influence in the spiritual affairs of the nation.<br><br><b>Character Analysis:</b><br><br>Jonadab is portrayed as a shrewd and perceptive individual, capable of influencing those around him. His advice to Amnon, though morally questionable, demonstrates his cunning nature. However, his later association with Jehu suggests a commitment to the religious and moral reforms in Israel. Jonadab's character serves as a reminder of the complexities of human nature and the impact of counsel, both good and bad, on the course of events.<br><br><b>Legacy:</b><br><br>Jonadab's legacy is twofold: he is remembered for his role in the tragic events within David's family and for his association with Jehu's religious reforms. His account serves as a cautionary tale about the power of influence and the importance of aligning one's actions with righteous principles.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jonadab</span><p>who gives liberally<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jonadab</span><p>(<i>whom Jehovah impels</i>). <ol> <li>Son of Shimeah and nephew of David.
