[edit]

The article currently states "Jonadab or Jehonadab", but are these necessarily the same person? There are two different names, Jehonadab can be historically traced (per his concurrency with Jehu), but if Jonadab is a different person then he doesn't have any specifics on when his time in history was. Is there any scholarship to this other than the repeated phrase "son of Rechab"?

I've removed this wording since it is awkward - Jonadab and Jehonadab are the same person. Thanks for picking it up. Orthogonal1 (talk) 03:06, 11 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
"There are two different names" - no, they're not. Every Hebrew name beginning in "Ju-" or "Jo-" actually begins in "Jəhu-" or "Jəho-". Given that the "ə" is unstressed, it is often dropped in transcriptions. Str1977 (talk) 08:47, 12 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
