SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:17
Abigail engendró a Amasa, cuyo padre fue Jeter ismaelita.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:17
Verse 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And Abigail bare Amasa , etc.] 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 19:13 20:10), 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. Ver. 18 . And Caleb the son of Hezron , etc.] The same that is called Chelubai, ( 1 Chronicles 2:9) but not the same with Caleb the son of Jephunneh, made mention of in the books of Numbers, Joshua, and Judges: he begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth ; who were both his wives; or it may be rather, since Azubah is so particularly called his wife, Jerioth might be a concubine: or of Azubah he begat Jerioth; so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions; though it seems best with Hillerus to interpret these names of the same person, and render the last clause, “that is, of Jerioth”, of her whose name also was Jerioth, Azubah having two names; and the rather, since only the children of one are mentioned, as follows: her sons are these; Jesher, and Shobab, and Ardon of whom we read nowhere else; the Targum says, Azubah was so called, because she was barren and despised, which this clause contradicts.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies. --We are now come to the register of the children of Israel, tha distinguished people, who were to dwell alone, and not be reckone among the nations. But now, in Christ, all are welcome to his salvatio who come to him; all have equal privileges according to their faith in him, their love and devotedness to him. All that is truly valuabl consists in the favour, peace, and image of God, and a life spent to his glory, in promoting the welfare of our fellow-creatures __________________________________________________________________
