Amasa.
2 Sam. 19:13• 13And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab. (2 Sam. 19:13)
;
2 Sam. 20:4,9‑12• 4Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
 9And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
 10But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
 11And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
 12And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still. (2 Sam. 20:4,9‑12)

• Amasa replaces Joab at the head of David's rebellious son's army. He was a cousin to Joab cousin through his mother, but also through his mother's dishonor. Joab, as we shall see, never forgives anything: whether it be a blot against his family or the usurpation of his position, or the danger of competition for the place of supreme command. (“Service: 2 Samuel 17” by H.L. Rossier)
