Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

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 Sa2 17:25, and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite; he is called an Israelite, Sa2 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.
