Zeruiah. [Zerui'ah]


Described with Abigail as 'sisters of the sons of Jesse.' They may have been half-sisters (Abigail was the daughter of Nahash, 2 Sam. 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.
