a-mā?sı̄ (עמשׂי, ‛ămāsay, perhaps rather to be read עמּשׁי, ‛ammishay; so Wellhausen, IJG, II, 24, n.2):
(1) A name in the genealogy of Kohath, son of Elkanah, a Levite of the Kohathite family (compare 1Ch_6:25; 2Ch_29:12).
(2) Chief of the captains who met David at Ziklag and tendered him their allegiance. Some have identified him with Amasa and others with Abishai, who is called Abshai in 1Ch_11:20 m (compare 1Ch_18:12). The difficulty is that neither Amasa nor Abishai occupied the rank of the chief of thirty according to the lists in 2 Sam 23 and 1 Ch 11, the rank to which David is supposed to have appointed into (compare 1Ch_12:18).
(3) One of the trumpet-blowing priests who greeted David when he brought back the Ark of the Covenant (compare 1Ch_15:24).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PRINTER 1915.


Amasa?i, the principal leader of a considerable body of men from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who joined David at Ziklag. The words with which David received them indicate some apprehension, which was instantly dissipated by a fervent declaration of attachment from Amasai (1Ch_12:16-18).

Amasai
[some Amas'ai] (Hebrew Amasay', עֲמָשִׂי, burdensome), the name of several men. SEE AMASHAI.
1. (Sept. Α᾿μασί and Α᾿μάς v. r. Α᾿μεσσί and Α᾿μαθί.) A Levite, son of Elkanah, and father of Ahimoth or Mahath, of the ancestry of Samuel (1Ch_6:25; 1Ch_6:35), B.C. cir. 1410. 2. (Sept. Α᾿μασαί.) The principal leader of a considerable body of men from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who joined David in “the stronghold," apparently the cave of Adullam; his fervent declaration of attachment instantly dispelled the apprehensions that David expressed at their coming (1Ch_12:18), B.C. cir. 1061. There is not much probability in the supposition (Ewald, Isr. Gesch. 2, 544) that he was the same with AMASA SEE AMASA (q.v.), the nephew of David.
3. (Sept. Α᾿μασαϊv.) One of the priests appointed to precede the ark with blowing of trumpets on its removal from the house of Obed-edom to Jerusalem (1Ch_15:24), B.C. cir. 1043.
4. (Sept. Α᾿μασί.) Another Levite, father of a different Mahath, and one of the two Kohathites that were forward at the instance of Hezekiah in cleansing the temple (2Ch_29:12), B.C. 726.
