And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.

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 Shamer,

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

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