| I Chronicles 2:17 | And Abigail bore Amasa, whose father was Jether, the Ismahelite. | Ismahelite, or more correctly, "Jethra, of Jezrahel;" (2 Kings 17:25.) though the Hebrew and Septuagint in that place read "Israelite," which would be a trifling remark; and it is improbable that Isai would give his daughter to a descendant of Ismahel. (Calmet) --- The person might, however, have resided among them. (Du Hamel) |
