The Masoretic Text of 2 Samuel 17:25 calls Abigail the daughter of Nahash. While it is possible that Jesse's wife had first married been to Nahash (and Abigail was David's half-sister), scholars think that Nahash is a typographic error, [4] based on the appearance of the name two verses later.

At this point, the narrative states that David sent a message of condolence to Hanun, the heir of Nahash, because Nahash had shown kindness to David.

Zeruiah (/ z ə ˈ r uː j ə / צרויה sometimes transliterated Tzruya or Zeruya) was a sister of King David. According to both the Hebrew Bible and the Babylonian Talmud , Zeruiah was a daughter of Jesse and sister of Abigail , to whom reference is made in 1 Chronicles ( 1 Chronicles 2:13–17 ) and 2 Samuel ( 2 Samuel 17:25 ).
His mother was Abigail (2 Samuel 17:25), a sister of King David (1 Chronicles 2:16,17). Hence, Amasa was a nephew of David, and cousin of Joab, David's military commander, as well as a cousin of Absalom, David's son. David calls him "my bone and my flesh" (2 Samuel 19:13).
