2 Samuel 17:25
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man’s son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother.
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.
