Wikipedia — Amasa
Amasa (עמשא) or Amessai is a person mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. His mother was Abigail, a sister of King David. 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". Amasa's father was Jether who was also called Ithra. Jether had dual-nationality, being an Ishmaelite and Israelite, although it might be a case of an assimilated Ishmaelite living in Israel.
