However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Σαρουια (Sarouia), maintaining its Hebrew form. Usage: Tserujah is used as a proper noun, specifically as the name of a woman in the Old Testament. She is noted as the sister of King David and the mother of three of his prominent military leaders: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Context: Tserujah is a significant figure in the narrative of King David's reign. As the sister of David, she is part of the royal family lineage. Her sons, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, are key military figures in David's army. Joab, in particular, serves as the commander of David's forces and plays a crucial role in many of the military campaigns and political events during David's reign. Tserujah's name is often mentioned in the context of her sons' exploits and their loyalty to David. Her influence is seen through her sons' actions and their close association with the king. The Berean Standard Bible references her in passages such as 1 Chronicles 2:16, where her relationship to David and her sons is outlined: "Their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel—three in all."
