Jether:
(his excellence).
(1.) Jethro, the father‐in‐law of Moses (Exodus 4:18). (B.C. 1530)
(2.) The first‐born of Gideon's seventy sons (Judges 8:20). (B.C. 1256)
(3.) The father of Amasa, captain‐general of Absalom's army. (B.C. 1023) Jether is another form of ITHRA. SEE [ITHRA]. (2 Samuel 17:25). He is described in 1 Chronicles 2:17 as an Ishmaelite, which again is more likely to be correct than the "Israelite" of the Hebrew in 2 Samuel 17:1. …
(4.) The son of Jada, a descendant of Hezron, of the tribe of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:32).
(5.) The son of Ezra (1 Chronicles 2:32).
(6.) The chief of a family of warriors of the line of Asher, and father of Jephunneh (1 Chronicles 7:38). He is probably the same as ITHRAN in the preceding verse. SEE [ITHRAN].
