Zeruiah

Described with Abigail as “sisters of the sons of Jesse.” They may have been half-sisters (Abigail was the daughter of Nahash, 2 Samuel 17:25). Zeruiah had three sons, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, the leaders of David’s army; but it is not stated who was her husband. David declared, after the murder of Abner, that the sons of Zeruiah were too hard for him (1 Sam. 26:6; 2 Sam. 2:13,18; 2 Sam. 16:9-10; etc).
