Abishalom. [Abish'alom]


Father of Maachah, wife of Rehoboam and mother of Abijam, king of Judah. 1 Kings 15: 1, 2, 10. But in 2 Chr. 11: 20 we read that Maachah was the daughter of Absalom; therefore Abishalom appears to be a fuller way of writing Absalom, and refers to the son of David. See ABSALOM.
