Abigail melahirkan Amasa dan ayah Amasa ialah Yeter, orang Ismael itu.
Maka Abigail beranaklah Amasa, dan bapa Amasa itu Yeter, seorang Ismaeli.
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
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Abigail bare Amasa,.... Who was Absalom's general, afterwards reconciled to David, and designed to be made general of his army, but was slain by Joab, see 2 Samuel 17:25,
and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite; he is called an Israelite, 2 Samuel 17:25, and so in the Targum here, he being either a proselyte, or else he was an Israelite by birth, but called an Ishmaelite, because he had dwelt among the Ishmaelites some time, as Obededom is called the Gittite for the like reason; so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jether the Ishmeelite - See the marginal note and reference.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 2:17. Jether the Ishmeelite. — "They called him Jether, because he girded himself with his sword, that he might assist David with the Arabians, when Abner was endeavouring to destroy David and the whole race of Jesse, as being unfit to enter into the congregation of the Lord, on account of Ruth the Moabitess." - T.
