<p> Father of | <p> Father of Amasa by Abigail, David's sister ( 2 Samuel 17:25; 1 Chronicles 2:17). (See [[Amasa]] ; [[Abigail]] "An Ishmaelite" is the true reading; for why state that he was an "Israelite"? That he was an [[Ishmaelite]] would be something exceptional, and fitly mentioned in the genealogy. [[Jether]] or [[Ithra]] had "gone in to," i.e. seduced, Abigail, daughter of [[Nahash]] and sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother Absalom, probably during the sojourn of David's family with the king of [[Moab]] ( 1 Samuel 22:3-4). (See [[Absalom]] .) </p> | ||
