Zeruiah (Woman living at the time of United Monarchy) - Fact Book

First, in plain English

David's sister, the mother of Joab, Abishai and Asahel. David said the sons of Zeruiah were too much for him.

Who this is

Zeruiah was David's sister, and her three sons, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, became some of David's fiercest military commanders, close enough to the throne that David complained the sons of Zeruiah were too much for him to control.
