Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Jehonadab in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a proper Hebrew name specific to the Old Testament context. However, the themes associated with Jehonadab, such as faithfulness and obedience, can be found in various Greek terms related to these concepts in the New Testament.

Usage: Jehonadab is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a specific individual known for his association with Jehu and the Rechabites.

Context: Jehonadab, also known as Jonadab, is a notable figure in the Old Testament, particularly in the narrative of 2 Kings 10. He is identified as the son of Rechab and is recognized for his role in supporting Jehu's purge of Baal worship from Israel. Jehonadab's encounter with Jehu is described in 2 Kings 10:15-16 (BSB): "When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, 'Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?' 'It is,' Jehonadab replied. 'If it is,' said Jehu, 'give me your hand.' So he gave him his hand, and Jehu helped him into his chariot."

Jehonadab's legacy extends beyond his alliance with Jehu. He is also remembered for establishing a set of ascetic rules for his descendants, the Rechabites, which included abstaining from wine and living in tents. This lifestyle is highlighted in Jeremiah 35, where the Rechabites' obedience to Jehonadab's commands is commended by God as an example of faithfulness.

Jehonadab's influence is seen as a model of piety and dedication to Yahweh, emphasizing the importance of obedience and separation from idolatrous practices. His story underscores the theme of loyalty to God's covenant and the rejection of foreign influences.
