Father of Maachah, wife of Rehoboam and mother of Abijam, king of Judah (
1 Kings 15:1-2,10
1
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
2
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. (1 Kings 15:1‑2)
10
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. (1 Kings 15:10)
). But in
2 Chronicles 11:20
20
And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. (2 Chronicles 11:20)
we read that Maachah was the daughter of Absalom; therefore Abishalom appears to be a fuller way of writing Absalom, and refers to the son of David. See ABSALOM.
