Zeruiah
VIEW:17 DATA:01-04-2020
ZERUIAH.The mother of Davids officers Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, who are always referred to as sons of Zerulah. The fathers name is never mentioned, and he may have died early; or the mother may have been so remarkable a woman that her husbands name was not preserved; or we have a survival of the ancient custom of tracing kinship through the female line.
In 1Ch_2:16 Zeruiah and Abigail are called sisters of the sons of Jesse, but in 2Sa_17:25 Abigail is called the daughter of Nahash. It seems more probable that for Nahash in 2Sa_17:25 we ought to read Jesse, than that Jesses wife had previously been married to Nahash the Ammonite. According to this view, Zeruiah would be the daughter of Jesse and sister of David.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Mother of Abishai (called so from Ishai = Jesse), Joab, and Asahel, "the sons of Zeruiah"; sister of Abigail and of the sons of Jesse (1Ch_2:13-17). The father of her three sons is nowhere mentioned, because their more famous mother challenged the greater attention. Josephus preserves a tradition that he was named Souri (Ant. 7:1, Section 3). Nahash was father of Zeruiah and Abigail. (See NAHASH.) At his death their mother married Jesse, by whom she bore David (2Sa_17:25; 1Ch_2:16). Therefore Zeruiah and Abigail are called "David's (half) sisters," but not Jesse's daughters.

Zeru'iah. (balsam). The mother of the three leading heroes of David's army ? Abishai, Joah and Asahel ? known as the "sons of Zeruiah." Of Zeruiah's husband, there is no mention in the Bible. (B.C. before 1046).

zḗ-rōō-ı̄?a, zḗ-rōō?ya (צרוּיה, cerūyāh, צריה, ceruyāh (2Sa_14:1; 2Sa_16:10), meaning uncertain; Σαρουία, Sarouı́a): In 2Sa_2:18; 2Sa_17:25; 1Ch_2:16, and elsewhere where the names Joab, Abishai, occur. According to 1Ch_2:16 a sister of David and mother of Joab, Abishai and Asahel, the two former being always referred to as sons of Zeruiah. This latter fact is explained by some as pointing to a type of marriage by which the children belonged to their mother's clan (compare Abimelech, Jdg_8:31; Jdg_9:1 ff); by others as being due to her husband's early death; and again as a proof of the mother in this case being the stronger personality. Either of the last two reasons may be the correct one, and plenty of parallels from the village names of boys today can be produced to illustrate both explanations. According to 2Sa_2:32, her husband was buried at Bethlehem. In 2Sa_17:25, ?Abigal the daughter of Nahash? is said to be her sister. See ABIGAIL.

(Heb. Tseruyah', צְרוּיָה [1Sa_14:1 צְריָּה, wounded [Gesen.] or balsam [Fürst]; Sept and Josephus, Σαρουϊvα; Vulg. Sarvia), a woman noted as the mother of the three leading heroes of David's army-Abishai, Joab, and Asahel the sons of Zeruiah (1Sa_26:6; 2Sa_2:18; 1Ki_1:7, etc.). B.C. ante 1046. She and Abigail are specified in the genealogy of David's family in 1Ch_2:13-17 as sisters of the sons of Jesse (1Ch_2:16; comp. Josephus, Ant. 6:10,1). The expression is in itself enough to raise a suspicion that she was not a daughter of Jesse, a suspicion which is corroborated by the statement of 2Sa_17:25, that Abigail was the daughter of Nahash. Abigail being apparently the younger of the two women, it is a probable inference that they were both the daughters of Nahash, but whether this Nahash be as Prof. Stanley has ingeniously conjectured-the king of the Ammonites and the former husband of Jesse's wife, or some other person unknown, must forever remain a mere conjecture. SEE DAVID; SEE NAHASH.
Her relation to Jessen (in the original Ishai) is expressed in the name of her son Abishai. Of Zeruiah's husband there is no mention in the Bible. Josephus (Anf. 7:3) explicitly states that his name was Souri (Σουρί), but no corroboration of the statement appears to have been discovered in the Jewish traditions, nor does Josephus himself refer to it again. The mother of such remarkable sons must herself have been a remarkable woman, and this may account for the fact, unusual if not unique, that the family is always called after her, and that her husband's name has not been considered worthy of preservation in the sacred records.
