Ἀμασί and Ἀμάς v. r. Ἀμεσσί and Ἀμαθί .) A Levite, son of Elkanah, and father of [[Ahimoth]] or Mahath, of the ancestry of Samuel ( 1 Chronicles 6:25; 1 Chronicles 6:35), B.C. cir. 1410. '''2.''' (Sept. Ἀμασαί ''.'' ) The principal leader of a considerable body of men from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who joined David in "the stronghold," apparently the cave of Adullam; his fervent declaration of attachment instantly dispelled the apprehensions that David expressed at their coming ( 1 Chronicles 12:18), B.C. cir. 1061. There is not much probability in the supposition (Ewald, ''Isr. Gesch.'' 2, 544) that he was the same with AMASA (See Amasa)'''' (q.v.), the nephew of David. </p> <p> '''3.''' (Sept. Ἀμασαϊ v ''.'' ) One of the priests appointed to precede the ark with blowing of trumpets on its removal from the house of Obed-edom to [[Jerusalem]] ( 1 Chronicles 15:24), B.C. cir. 1043. </p> <p> '''4.''' (Sept.

Some have identified him with Amasa and others with Abishai, who is called [[Abshai]] in 1 Chronicles 11:20 m (compare 1 Chronicles 18:12 ). The difficulty is that neither Amasa nor [[Abishai]] occupied the rank of the chief of thirty according to the lists in 2 Sam 23 and 1 Ch 11, the rank to which David is supposed to have appointed into (compare 1 Chronicles 12:18 ). </p> <p> (3) One of the trumpet-blowing priests who greeted David when he brought back the [[Ark]] of the [[Covenant]] (compare 1 Chronicles 15:24 ). </p> | ||
