I. Jonadab the Crafty
II. Tamar the Victim
III. Amnon the Hater
John Calvin: “Therefore, when we see that the Spirit of God stated here, as a reproach, that Jonadab was a prudent man, and that he so forgot himself as to be a pimp for his male cousin, disgrace his female cousin, and be disloyal to his uncle, the king—it all warns us to pray that if God has given us some prudence, He would also add integrity and sincerity so that we may keep ourselves from craftiness” (Sermons on II Samuel, p. 619).
