unclea was a
acounsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son
of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:

32a Jonathan David's uncle
Some so make this uncle of King David the brother of David's mother. Now the
name of David's mother is not given in the Bible nor her ancestry. But her
family must have had some family related enfluence for here David makes his
uncle Jonathan, his mother's brother, one of his counsellors and advisors.
According to the Talmud, Tractate Bava 91a, David's mother's name was
Nitzevet(Nizbet) the daughter (bat/bas) of Adael, Edal or Adel. One report
states that this Nitzevet was only mother to David and not to David's
brothers which would enforce that Psalm 69 (see v8) was indeed Messianic and
concerning Jesus and not about David.
