25 Ahora bien, en lugar de Joab, Absal贸n hab铆a nombrado general de su ej茅rcito a Amas谩, que era hijo de un hombre llamado Itr谩,[a] el cual era ismaelita[b] y se hab铆a casado con Abiga铆l, hija de Naj谩s y hermana de Sarvia, la madre de Joab.

2 Samuel 17:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:25

And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab,
&c.] Who was along with David:

which Amasa [was] a man's son whose name [was] Ithra, an Israelite;
he is called Jether the Ishmaelite, ( 1 Chronicles 2:17 ) ; either because he was an Ishmaelite by birth, and being proselyted to the Jewish religion, was called an Israelite; or rather he was an Israelite by birth, and having sojourned in the land of Ishmael some time, was called an Ishmaelite, as Uriah the Hittite, and others; and when Amasa is called a "man's son", it means a great man, as Kimchi observes:

that went in to Abigail, the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah,
Joab's mother:
so that Joab and Amasa, the generals of David and Absalom, were own cousins, sisters' children, and David uncle to them both; for Abigail and Zeruiah were David's sisters, ( 1 Chronicles 2:16 ) ; children of Jesse, whose name is here called Nahash, having two names, or this was his surname; though others think Nahash is the name of a woman, the wife of Jesse, and that these two sisters had two mothers, but one father; it seems by this expression, "went in to", as if Amasa was not begotten in the conjugal state, but was illegitimate.

23 Ajitofel, por su parte, al ver que Absal贸n no hab铆a seguido su consejo, aparej贸 el asno y se fue a su pueblo. Cuando lleg贸 a su casa, luego de arreglar sus asuntos, fue y se ahorc贸. As铆 muri贸, y fue enterrado en la tumba de su padre.
24 David se dirigi贸 a Majanayin, y Absal贸n lo sigui贸, cruzando el Jord谩n con todos los israelitas.
25 Ahora bien, en lugar de Joab, Absal贸n hab铆a nombrado general de su ej茅rcito a Amas谩, que era hijo de un hombre llamado Itr谩, el cual era ismaelita y se hab铆a casado con Abiga铆l, hija de Naj谩s y hermana de Sarvia, la madre de Joab.
26 Los israelitas que estaban con Absal贸n acamparon en el territorio de Galaad.
27 Cuando David lleg贸 a Majanayin, all铆 estaban Sob铆 hijo de Naj谩s, oriundo de Rab谩, ciudad amonita; Maquir hijo de Amiel, que era de Lo Debar; y Barzilay el galaadita, habitante de Roguel铆n.
