Bible Person
Meaning: strong · Male · 1 cross reference
This Amasai entry refers to the leader who speaks for those joining David at the stronghold, not to the priest before the ark or the father of Mahath. He belongs to the widening coalition around David before the kingdom is fully consolidated. First appears in 1 Chr 12:18.1
AI summary: This Amasai matters because his single cross reference places him at a charged moment of voluntary allegiance, when men come to David and their loyalty is publicly declared. The scene gives the entry unusual rhetorical force for such a brief record. Taken together, the material presents this Amasai as a spokesman of wholehearted support in David's rise.1
