Exegesis
The relative clause ašer-bāʾ el-avigal {אֲשֶׁר־בָּא אֶל־אֲבִיגַל | ʾă-šer-bāʾ ʾel-ʾă-ḇî-ḡal} indicates movement toward Abigail, and consecutive construct phrases bat-nā-ḥāš, ʾă-ḥōṯ, ʾēm yo-ʾāḇ stack familial ties. English shifts to subject–verb–object order but preserves Hebrew emphasis on appointment and genealogy.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:25
And Absalom appointed Amasa in place of Joab over the army. Amasa was the son of a man named Yithra the Israelite, who came to Abigail , the daughter of Nahash, the sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.
