  Jehonadab
     Jehovah is liberal; or, whom Jehovah impels. (1.) A son of
     Shimeah, and nephew of David. It was he who gave the fatal
     wicked advice to Amnon, the heir to the throne (2 Sam. 13:3-6).
     He was very "subtil," but unprincipled.
     


       (2.) A son of Rechab, the founder of a tribe who bound
     themselves by a vow to abstain from wine (Jer. 35:6-19). There
     were different settlements of Rechabites (Judg. 1:16; 4:11; 1
     Chr. 2:55). (See {RECHABITE}.) His interview and
     alliance with Jehu are mentioned in 2 Kings 10:15-23. He went
     with Jehu in his chariot to Samaria.
