Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
And the sons of Jether; Jephunneh, and Pispah, and Ara.
Matthew George Easton, 1897

(his excellence).
(1.) Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses. (Exodus 4:18) (B.C. 1530.)
(2.) The first-born of Gideon’s seventy sons. (Judges 8:20) (B.C. 1256.)
(3.) The father of Amasa, captain-general of Absalom’s army. (B.C. 1023.) Jether is another form of ITHRA. (2 Samuel 17:25) He is described in (1 Chronicles 2:17) as an Ishmaelite, which again is more likely to be correct than the "Israelite" of the Hebrew in (2 Samuel 17:1) ...
(4.) The son of Jada, a descendant of Hezron, of the tribe of Judah. (1 Chronicles 2:32)
(5.) The son of Ezra. (1 Chronicles 2:32)
(6.) The chief of a family of warriors of the line of Asher, and father of Jephunneh. (1 Chronicles 7:38) He is probably the same as ITHRAN in the preceding verse.
