[some Amas'ai] (Hebrew Amasay', עֲמָשִׂי , Burdensome), the name of several men. (See Amashai).
1. (Sept. 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.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [9]
a - mā´sı̄ ( עמשׂי , ‛ămāsay , perhaps rather to be read עמּשׁי , ‛ammishay ; so Wellhausen, IJG , II, 24, n.2):
(1) A name in the genealogy of Kohath, son of Elkanah, a Levite of the Kohathite family (compare 1 Chronicles 6:25; 2 Chronicles 29:12 ).
(2) Chief of the captains who met David at Ziklag and tendered him their allegiance. 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 ).
(3) One of the trumpet-blowing priests who greeted David when he brought back the Ark of the Covenant (compare 1 Chronicles 15:24 ).
Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblial Literature [10]
Amasa´i, the principal leader of a considerable body of men from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who joined David at Ziklag. The words with which David received them indicate some apprehension, which was instantly dissipated by a fervent declaration of attachment from Amasai ( 1 Chronicles 12:16-18).
