Bathshua from Canaan was their mother. The Lord killed Er, the first son, because he saw that he was evil. 4 Judah's daughter-in-law Tamar gave birth to Perez and Zerah. So Judah had five sons. 5 Perez's sons were Hezron and Hamul. 6 Zerah had five sons. They were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda. 7 Zimri's son was Carmi. Carmi's son was Achar.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whose sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail..... That is, sisters of David:
and the sons of Zeruiah; Abishai, and Joab, and Asahel, three; all valiant men and captains in David's army; their father's name is nowhere mentioned.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Sisters - i. e. half-sisters. Abigail and Zeruiah were daughters not of Jesse, but of a certain Nahash, whose widow Jesse took to wife 2 Samuel 17:25.
From the present passage, and from the fact that Abishai joined David as a comrade in arms before Joab 1 Samuel 26:6, it would seem that, although Joab was pre-eminent among the three 2 Samuel 2:13, 2 Samuel 2:16, Abishai was the eldest.
