And after he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom, etc.] Thought by some to be Absalom the son of David, his father’s brother, and his uncle, and so married his cousin; but Absalom seems to have had but one daughter, whose name was Tamar, (<101427>2 Samuel 14:27), and the name of this man is different from his; he is called Abishalom, (<111502>1 Kings 15:2) and Uriel of Gibeah; (<141302>2 Chronicles 13:2), of the tribe of Benjamin, whereas Absalom was of the tribe of Judah: which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith: Abijah the firstborn, and who was successor in the kingdom, is the same with Abijam, (<111431>1 Kings 14:31) of the rest we nowhere else read.
