2 Samuel 14:27 Meaning and Commentary

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; see ( 1 Kings 15:22 ) ( 2 Chronicles 11:20 ) ;

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.

2 Samuel 14:27 In-Context

25 Não havia em todo o Israel homem tão admirável pela sua beleza como Absalão; desde a planta do pé até o alto da cabeça não havia nele defeito algum.

26 E, quando ele cortava o cabelo, o que costumava fazer no fim de cada ano, porquanto lhe pesava muito, o peso do cabelo era de duzentos siclos, segundo o peso real.

27 Nasceram a Absalão três filhos, e uma filha cujo nome era Tamar; e esta era mulher formosa � vista.

28 Assim ficou Absalão dois anos inteiros em Jerusalém, sem ver a face do rei.

29 Então Absalão mandou chamar Joabe, para o enviar ao rei; porém Joabe não quis vir a ele. Mandou chamá-lo segunda vez, mas ele não quis vir.
