This Amnon entry refers to a Judahite son of Shammai in Chronicles, not to David's son who assaults Tamar. He belongs to the clan material through which Judah's internal branches are preserved. First appears in 1 Chr 4:20.1

AI summary: This Amnon matters because his single cross reference places him in a compact sibling group within Judah's genealogical record. The distinction from David's son is important because identical names can carry very different narrative weight elsewhere. Taken together, the material presents this Amnon as a Judahite family figure in the preserved clan framework.1
