2 Samuel17:25
25. Amasa--By the genealogy it appears that this captain stood in the same relation to David as Joab, both being his nephews. Of course, Amasa was Absalom's cousin, and though himself an Israelite, his father was an Ishmaelite (1Ch 2:17).
Nahash--is thought by some to be another name of Jesse, or according to others, the name of Jesse's wife.
