Jonadab
Jonadab is the name of two people in the Old Testament .
etymology
The Hebrew name Jonadab is written in MT either יְהֹונָדָב jəhônādāv or יֹונָדָב jônādāv . In both cases it is a question of sentence names, the meaning of which is the same apart from the different theophoric element. The subject (יְהֹו jəhô or יֹו jô ) is YHWH , the predicate belongs to the root נדב ndv "to be generous / freely give / donate". The name therefore means "YHWH donated (him)".
Jonadab, Shima's son
He was a member of the David's family and an advisor at the royal court ("a very clever, wise man" ( 2 Sam 13.3 EU )). In particular, he gave Amnon fatal advice on how to bring his sister Tamar under his control; It was also he who informed David that Absalom had taken revenge on Amnon because he knew the background. Chapter 2 Samuel 13 with the story of Amnon and Tamar is considered a narrative masterpiece in the Hebrew Bible.
Jonadab, Rechab's son
He was a contemporary of Jehu ( 2 Kings 10). He gave his descendants, the Rechabites , the command not to drink wine, which they followed ( Jeremiah 35).
