And Abigail bore Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.

Amaziah his son, Azariah his son, Jotham his son,

And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

And the sons of Elkanah; Amasai, and Ahimoth.

The son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai,

The son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah,

The son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shemer,

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Yours we are, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you. Then David received them, and made them captains of his troop.

And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
