Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 3:3

3 And his second, Chileab , of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite: and the third, Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur :

Called also Daniel, 1 Chron. 3. 1.

A part of Syria, Northward from the Land of Israel, Deut. 3. 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. Ios. 12. 5. See 2 Sam. 13. 37. and 14. 13. and 15. 8. Her he Married, as it may seem, in policy, that he might have a powerful Friend and Ally to assist him against Ishbosheth's party in the North, whilst himself opposed him in the Southern parts. But he paid dear for making Piety give place to Policy herein, as the History of Absalom sheweth. There were other Geshurites Southward from Canaan, whom David invaded, 1 Sam. 27. 8. and it is not impossible but they were a Colony of those in the North.
