Commentary

Commentary on 2 Samuel 14:27

Theological / Devotional

Three sons. These probably died early in life (see ch. 18:18).

Tamar. Tamar was named after Absalom’s sister and shared her beauty (2 Samuel 13:1).

She was probably the one who married Uriel of Gibeah and had a daughter Maacah (or Michaiah). The wife of Rehoboam and the mother of Abijah was called both Maacah the “daughter” of Absalom (evidently granddaughter, see on 1 Samuel 14:50), and Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel (see 2 Chronicles 13:2; 1 Kings 15:2).
