| after her he took Maachah . . . daughter--that is, granddaughter (Sa2 14:27) of Absalom, Tamar being, according to JOSEPHUS, her mother. (Compare Sa2 18:18). |

| Maachah the daughter of Absalom - Rather, "grand-daughter" (see the Kg1 15:2 note). |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| Maachah the daughter, i.e., the granddaughter, of Absalom; for she cannot have been Absalom's daughter, because Absalom, according to Sa2 14:27, had only one daughter, Tamar by name, who must have been fifty years old at Solomon's death. According to Sa2 18:18, Absalom left no son; Maachah therefore can only be a daughter of Tamar, who, according to Ch2 13:2, was married to Uriel of Gibeah: see on Kg1 15:2. Abijah, the oldest son of Maachah, whom his father nominated his successor (Ch2 11:22 and Ch2 12:16), is called in the book of Kings constantly Abijam, the original form of the name, which was afterwards weakened into Abijah. |

| Maachah the daughter of Absalom - See the note on Kg1 15:10. She is called Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel, Ch2 13:2. For this the Targum gives the following reason: "Abijah reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Michaiah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeatha. She is the same as Michah, the daughter of Absalom; but, because she was an upright woman, her name was changed into the more excellent name Michaiah, and her fathers name into that of Uriel of Gibeatha, that the name of Absalom might not be remembered. |
