Probably the granddaughter, for according to 2 Chron. 13:2, the mother of Abijah, there called Michaiah, was the daughter of “Uriel of Gibeah.” The “Abishalom” of this passage also called “Absalom” (2 Chron. 11:20), is in all probability the rebel son of David, whose mother was also named Maachah (2 Sam. 3:3). Absalom had only one daughter, Tamar (2 Sam. 14:27), who probably married Uriel. Of the “eighteen wives, and threescore concubines” of Rehoboam, Maachah was the favorite, and her son Abijah was selected by Rehoboam from his 28 sons for the kingship (2 Chron. 11:21, 22).
