Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 b; 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.
b Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 7. c. 8. sect. 5.)
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Three sons - These probably died in infancy (see the marginal reference). From Tamar must have been born Maachah, the mother of Abijah, and the favorite wife of Rehoboam 1 Kings 15:2; 2 Chronicles 11:20-22.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 14:27. Unto Absalom there were born — These children did not survive him; see 2 Samuel 18:18.
Tamar — The Septuagint adds, And she became the wife of Roboam, the son of Solomon, and bare to him Abia; see Matthew 1:7. Josephus says the same. This addition is not found in the other versions.
