The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Abigail autem genuit Amasa, cujus pater fuit Jether Ismahelites.
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ Ἀβειγαία ἐγέννσεν τὸν Ἀμεσσάβ· καὶ πατὴρ Ἀμεσσὰβ Ἰόθορ ὁ Ἰσμαηλείτης.
Hebrew (WLC)
וַאֲבִיגַ֕יִל יָלְדָ֖ה אֶת עֲמָשָׂ֑א וַאֲבִ֣י עֲמָשָׂ֔א יֶ֖תֶר הַיִּשְׁמְעֵאלִֽי

Haydock's commentary

Ismahelite, or more correctly, "Jethra, of Jezrahel;" (2 Kings xvii. 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)
