Hence, Amasa was a nephew to David, a cousin to Joab, as well as a cousin to Absalom . Absalom, David s mutinous son, revolted and won over the tribes of Israel bibleverse 2 Sam 15 HE . He appointed Amasa over the army, in effect replacing Joab, who had been general for his father David. After the revolt was crushed, David held out an olive branch to Amasa in a likely effort to appease and reunite Judah with the other 10 tribes of Israel by offering to appoint Amasa as his new army commander bibleverse 2 Sam 19 13 HE . While being fiercely loyal to David, Joab was also suspicious of any potential rivals for Joab s power or threats to David s kingdom, and had no qualms about taking the lives of any who might stand in his way E.G., Abner bibleverse 2 Sam 3 27 HE , and Absalom bibleverse 2 Sam 18 14 HE .
