And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose [that] they have slain all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:32

Theological / Devotional

Jonadab. Jonadab was the “very subtil man” who had given the evil advice that resulted in Tamar’s seduction (vs. 3-5). As a friend of Amnon he was aware of the danger to which his companion was exposed. He knew that the day would come when Tamar’s brother would seek revenge. Jonadab gave to David his own opinion of what had taken place, that only Amnon had been slain.
