² the third, ^(A)Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; the fourth, ^(B)Adonijah the son of Haggith;

^27 (A)To Absalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of beautiful appearance.

¹⁵ Then Amnon hated her ^[a]exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”
