  • 2 Sam 17:25 : 25 Absalom had appointed Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra, an Israelite who had gone in to Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and the sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.

  • 2 Sam 20:4-9 : 4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and you must be here as well." 5 But when Amasa went to summon Judah, he took longer than the time the king had set for him. 6 So David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba, son of Bichri, will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord's servants and pursue him quickly, or he may find fortified cities and escape from us." 7 Joab's men, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty warriors, marched out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. 8 When they were at the large stone in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was wearing his military tunic, and strapped over it, at his waist, was a belt with a dagger in its sheath. As he stepped forward, it fell out. 9 Joab said to Amasa, "How are you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. 10 Amasa was not on guard against the dagger in Joab’s hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach. His intestines spilled to the ground, and he died without Joab striking him again. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. 11 One of Joab's men stood by Amasa and said, "Whoever is loyal to Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!" 12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road. When the man saw that all the troops stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him because everyone who came by stopped.
  • 1 Kgs 2:5 : 5 Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—how he killed the two commanders of Israel's armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He shed their blood as if in war during a time of peace, staining his belt and sandals with the blood.
  • 1 Kgs 2:32 : 32 The LORD will bring back his blood on his own head, because he struck down two men more righteous and better than himself—Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah's army—killing them with the sword without my father David knowing it.
