Je'ther. (his excellence).
1. Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses. Exodus 4:18. (B.C. 1530).
2. The first-born of Gideon's seventy sons. Judges 8:20. (B.C. 1256).
3. The father of Amasa, captain-general of Absalom's army. (B.C. 1023). Jether is another form of Ithra. 2 Samuel 17:25. He is described in 1 Chronicles 2:17, as an Ishmaelite, which again is more likely to be correct than the "Israelite," of the Hebrew in 2 Samuel 17:1.
4. The son of Jada, a descendant of Hezron, of the tribe of Judah. 1 Chronicles 2:32.
5. The son of Ezra. 1 Chronicles 2:32.
6. The chief of a family of warriors, of the line of Asher, and father of Jephunneh. 1 Chronicles 7:38. He is probably the same as Ithran in the preceding verse.
