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 En todo Israel no había ningún hombre tan admirado como Absalón por su hermosura; era perfecto de pies a cabeza.

26 Tenía una cabellera tan pesada que una vez al año tenía que cortársela; y según la medida oficial, el pelo cortado pesaba dos kilos.

27 Además, tuvo tres hijos y una hija. Su hija, que se llamaba Tamar, llegó a ser una mujer muy hermosa.

28 Absalón vivió en Jerusalén durante dos años sin presentarse ante el rey.

29 Un día, le pidió a Joab que fuera a ver al rey, pero Joab no quiso ir. Se lo volvió a pedir, pero Joab se negó a hacerlo.
