2 Samuel 13:3

But Amnon had a friend ,.... Though in the issue his friendship proved his ruin:

whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother ; so that they were own cousins, the same with Shammah, 1 Samuel 16:9 ,

and Jonadab was a very subtle man ; a very penetrating man into the dispositions of men, and could judge by their countenances what they were, and the affections of their minds, and had a talent in forming schemes; he was wise to do evil and was wickedly cunning.
