(Shmuel II 17:25) (AMASA AND YO'AV)
(a)Interestingly, Avshalom appointed Yo'av's cousin to replace him as his commander-in-chief, and both were nephews of David. Avigayil, David's sister, should not be confused with Avigayil, the wife of Naval ha'Karmeli, who was married to David.
(b)Although Amasa's father, judging by what the Gemara says about him (Yevamos 77a), seems to have been a leading sage of that time, Amasa himself joined the ranks of Avshalom in his rebellion against his father, David.
