International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Amnon:

am'-non ('amnon, "faithful"; compare ‘aminon, 2Sa 13:20, which is probably a diminutive. Wellhausen (IJG, II, 24, note 2) resolves ‘amiynown into ‘immi, and nun, "my mother is the serpent"; compare NUN):

(1) The eldest son of David and Ahinoam, the Jezreelites (compare 2Sa 3:2). As the crown prince and heir presumptive to the throne, he was intensely hated by Absalom, who was, therefore, doubly eager to revenge the outrage committed by Amnon upon his sister Tamar (2Sa 3:2; 13:1 ff, 1Ch 3:1).

(2) A name in the genealogy of Judah (1Ch 4:20).

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Amnon:

(faithful).

(1.) Eldest son of David. (B.C. 1052) He dishonored his half‐sister Tamar, and was in consequence murdered by her brother (2 Samuel 13:1-29).

(2.) Son of Shimon (1 Chronicles 4:20).
