The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Amasam vero constituit Absalom pro Joab super exercitum : Amasa autem erat filius viri qui vocabatur Jetra de Jezraëli, qui ingressus est ad Abigail filiam Naas, sororem Sarviæ, quæ fuit mater Joab.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ τὸν Ἀμεσσεὶ κατέστησεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἀντὶ Ἰωὰβ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως· καὶ Ἀμεσσεὶ υἱὸς ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰοθὸρ ὁ Ἰσραηλείτης, οὗτος εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Ἀβειγαίαν θυγατέρα Ναὰς ἀδελφοῦ Σαρουίας μητρὸς Ἰωάβ.
Hebrew (WLC): וְאֶת עֲמָשָׂ֗א שָׂ֧ם אַבְשָׁלֹ֛ם תַּ֥חַת יוֹאָ֖ב עַל הַצָּבָ֑א וַעֲמָשָׂ֣א בֶן אִ֗ישׁ וּשְׁמוֹ֙ יִתְרָ֣א הַיִּשְׂרְאֵלִ֔י אֲשֶׁר בָּא֙ אֶל אֲבִיגַ֣ל בַּת נָחָ֔שׁ אֲח֥וֹת צְרוּיָ֖ה אֵ֥ם יוֹאָֽב

Haydock's commentary

Jazrael, or Israel. (Du Hamel)

Gortius would read Ismael, as 1 Paralipomenon ii. 17, Jether, the Ismaelite. (Haydock)

Went in. This expressing makes Sanchez believe that Amasa was illegitimate. (Menochius)

Naas is either the name of Isai's wife, or rather the latter had both names, 1 Paralipomenon ii. 13, 16. Septuagint read Jesse, in the edition of Complut.; in others, Naas. (Calmet)

Joab; so that these two were own cousins, and both nephews of David.
