2 Samuel 14:27

And unto Absalom there were born three sons ,.... Who very probably died young; and the rather it may be thought so, since their names are not given, and more especially since it is said that Absalom had no sons, and therefore erected a pillar to keep up the remembrance of his name; unless it can be thought that that was set up before he had any sons, which is not so likely; see 2 Samuel 18:18 ,

and one daughter, whose name was Tamar ; and whom he named after his sister Tamar, who was ravished by Amnon; the Septuagint version in some copies adds,"and she became the wife of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, and bore to him Abia;'and so says Josephus F2 Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 7. c. 8. sect. 5.) ; see 1 Kings 15:22 ,

she was a woman of a fair countenance ; as was her aunt, after whom she was named, 2 Samuel 13:1 ; by this it appears that she lived to a woman's estate, though the sons of Absalom died young.
