The meaning of Ithra in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

ith'-ra (yithra', "abundance"): The father of Amasa, commanding general in the rebel army of Absalom. It seems that his mother was Abigail, a sister or half-sister of King David (I Chronicles 2:17). She is called the sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother (II Samuel 17:25). In this same passage Ithra is called an "Israelite," but in I Chronicles 2:17; I Kings 2:5, I Kings 2:32, we read: "Jether the Ishmaelite."
