Jether Jether

There are five Jethers in the Bible: Gideon's oldest son; a man from Judah (1 Chr 2:32); another man from Judah (1 Chr 4:17); a man from Asher (1 Chr 7:38); and the Ishmaelite father of Amasa, the commander of the army of Judah (1 Ki 2:32), who also happened to be David's cousin (1 Chr 2:17).

The name Jether comes from the verb Jether (yatar 936) meaning remain over, leave. Derivatives: Jether (yeter 936a), rest, remnant; Jether (yeter 936b), cord, bowstring; yitra (yitra 936c), abundance, riches; yoter or Jether (yoter 936d), more, better; yoteret (yoteret 936e), appendage; yitron (yitron 936f), advantage, excellency; motar (motar 936g), profit, abundance; and metar (metar 936h), cord, string.

The name Jether is spelled the same as the derivatives meaning rest, remnant, cord, bowstring, more, better, and is spelled identical to the name Jetro. Jones reads Excellence. NOBSE reads Abundance.
