1 Kings15:2
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom .
See the last Note, on ver. 1.
Or, of Absalom, as he is called 2 Chron. 11. 21. And because he is here mentioned as a known Person without any addition of his Kindred or Quality, some conceive that this was Absalom's Daughter, called properly Tamar, 2 Sam. 14. 27. and from her Royal Grand-Mother, 2 Sam. 3. 3. Maachah; and that she is called Michajah (which differs not much from Maachah) the daughter of Uriel, 2 Chr. 13. 2. because she was first Married to Uriel, as Iosephus affirms, Antiq. 8. 3. and afterwards to Rehoboam. Others think this was another Person, and that both she and her Father had each of them several names, which was not unusual among the Hebrews.
