And Absalom {H53} made {H7760} Amasa {H6021} captain of the host {H6635} instead of Joab {H3097}: which Amasa {H6021} was a man's {H376} son {H1121}, whose name {H8034} was Ithra {H3501} an Israelite {H3481}, that went in {H935} to Abigail {H26} the daughter {H1323} of Nahash {H5176}, sister {H269} to Zeruiah {H6870} Joab's {H3097} mother {H517}.
Avshalom had put 'Amasa in charge of the army in place of Yo'av. 'Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Yitra the Isra'eli, who had had sexual relations with Avigal the daughter of Nachash, Tz'ruyah's sister and Yo'av's mother.
Absalom had appointed Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra, the Ishmaelite who had married Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah the mother of Joab.
