וּלְאַמְנוֹן רֵעַ וּשְׁמוֹ יֽוֹנָדָב בֶּן־שִׁמְעָה אֲחִי דָוִד וְיוֹנָדָב אִישׁ חָכָם מְאֹֽד
But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
וַיַּעַן יוֹנָדָב בֶּן־שִׁמְעָה אֲחִֽי־דָוִד וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־יֹאמַר אֲדֹנִי אֵת כָּל־הַנְּעָרִים בְּנֵֽי־הַמֶּלֶךְ הֵמִיתוּ כִּֽי־אַמְנוֹן לְבַדּוֹ מֵת כִּֽי־עַל־פִּי אַבְשָׁלוֹם הָיְתָה שׂוּמָה מִיּוֹם עַנֹּתוֹ אֵת תָּמָר אֲחֹתֽוֹ

A spelling is not a name. The written word שמעה stands 25 times in the corpus, which is a different question and often a different number: the same letters can spell another name or an ordinary word, and a name written with a particle attached is a word that search never returns. It is here, as itself.
