a shortened form of the name Jehonadab, for which it is used indifferently in the Hebrew as applied to either of two men in certain passages; but these have not been accurately represented in the A.V. which applies the briefer form indeed to either, but the full form to but one in three of these passages. (See JEHONADAB).
1. The son of Shimeah and nephew of David (A.V. correctly in 2 Samuel 13:3 twice, 32, 35; incorrectly in 2 Samuel 13:5, where the Hebrew has Jehonadab).
2. The Rechabite (Jeremiah 35:6; Jeremiah 35:10; Jeremiah 35:19; incorrectly in Jeremiah 35:8; Jeremiah 35:14; Jeremiah 35:16; Jeremiah 35:18).
