And Abigail was the mother of 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 on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.

And Shebaniah and Joshaphat and Nethanel and Amasai and Zechariah and Benaiah and Eliezer, the priests, made music on the horns before the ark of God; and Obed-edom and Jehiah were door-keepers for the ark.
