What Kind of Guy Is Jonah Dab?

Amnon is David's firstborn. So what's going to happen? Well, verse three says that Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonah Dab,. The son of Shamea, David's brother. We're told that he was a very crafty man. Now in Hebrew, that's just literally he was a ish ha-kum-maud, that is a man of great wisdom. But even though the word translated here is wisdom, wisdom does not necessarily mean piety or this desire to do the will of God.
