Jonadab

And Amnon hath a friend, and his name is Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David's brother, and Jonadab is a very wise man,

And Jonadab saith to him, `Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, `Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see it , and have eaten from her hand.'

And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, answereth and saith, `Let not my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone is dead, for by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister;

And Jonadab saith unto the king, `Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.'

and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;

And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.

And Jonathan, uncle of David, is counsellor, a man of understanding, he is also a scribe; and Jehiel son of Hachmoni is with the sons of the king;
