Jether was the father of Amasa, David's commander who was killed by Joab out of jealousy for his military position. He was an Ishmaelite, making his son Amasa half-brother to David's other commanders through their mothers. His name appears in the genealogical records of David's mighty men and their families.

"“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist, and in his shoes that were on his feet."
