Three years: See Poole "1Ki_15:1".
Of Abishalom, or, of Absalom, as he is called, 2Ch_11:21. And because he is here mentioned as a known person, without any addition of his kindred or quality, some conceive that this was Absalom’s daughter, called properly Tamar, 2Sa_14:27, and from her royal grandmother, 2Sa_3:3 Maachah; and that she is called Michaiah (which differs not much from Maachah) the daughter of Uriel, 2Ch_13:2, because she was first married to Uriel, as Josephus affirms, Antiq. viii. 3, and afterwards to Rehoboam. Others think this was another person, and that both she and her father had each of them several names, which was not unusual among the Hebrews.
