(2) Absalom.--David's favourite and rebellious son (2 Samuel 15-19). The common Heb. text has "to Absalom;" but a number of MSS. and all the old versions read Absalom. Rabbi D. Kimchi gives the characteristic explanation that L-ABSHALOM alludes to LO-ABSHALOM, "not Absalom"--that is, not a "father of peace," but a rebel.

Maachah . . . Geshur.--See 1Chronicles 2:23.

Adonijah the son of Haggith.--Who would have succeeded his father, and was put to death by Solomon (1 Kings 1, 1Kings 2:19-25).
