2 Samuel

And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.

And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.

And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third,

Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
