Parallel
2 Samuel 17:25
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And Abessalom appointed Amessai in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose name was Jether of Jezrael: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas, the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
Absalom had appointed Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra (note: Ithra is a variant of Jether; see 1 Kings 2:5.), the Ishmaelite (note: Some LXX manuscripts (see also 1 Chronicles 2:17); MT and other LXX manuscripts Israelite) who had married Abigail (note: Or Abigal, a variant of Abigail), the daughter of Nahash (note: Or of Jesse; see DSS and 1 Chronicles 2:13–16) and sister of Zeruiah the mother of Joab.
