Shimeah, also referred to as Shimei, Shammah, or Shimea, was one of King David's brothers (1 Ch. 2:13). He was the son of Jesse and is mentioned in the genealogy of Judah. Shimeah had a son Jonadab (or 'Jonathan'). Jonathan is described as a skilled warrior who killed a Philistine giant (2 Sa. 21:21; 1 Ch. 20:7), while Jonadab is portrayed as a crafty man who helped Amnon, David's son, to deceive and rape his half-sister Tamar (2 Sa. 13:3, 32).
