Contextual Overview
1 The sons of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, 2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 3 Judah's sons were Er, Onan, and Shelah. A Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua, was their mother. Judah's first son, Er, did what the Lord said was wicked, so the Lord put him to death. 4 Judah's daughter-in-law Tamar gave birth to Perez and Zerah. Judah was the father, so Judah had five sons. 5 Perez's sons were Hezron and Hamul. 6 Zerah had five sons: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda. 7 Carmi's son was Achan, who caused trouble for Israel because he took things that had been given to the Lord to be destroyed. 8 Ethan's son was Azariah. 9 Hezron's sons were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb. 10 Ram was Amminadab's father, and Amminadab was Nahshon's father. Nahshon was the leader of the people of Judah.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Amasa: 2 Samuel 17:25, 2 Samuel 19:13, 2 Samuel 20:4-12, 1 Kings 2:5, 1 Kings 2:32
Jether: Jether, יתר [Strong's H3500], is essentially the same with יתרא [Strong's H3501], Ithra, the latter only having the addition of an א aleph; and it is probable, that he was an Ishmaelite by birth but an Israelite by religion. 2 Samuel 17:25, Ithra an Israelite
Ishmeelite: [Strong's H3459] a descendant of Ishmael
Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 12:18 - came upon Amasai
