Unto Absalom there were born - These children did not survive him; see 2 Samuel 18:18.
Tamar - The Septuagint adds, And she became the wife of Roboam, the son of Solomon, and bare to him Abia; see Matthew 1:7. Josephus says the same. This addition is not found in the other versions.
2 Samuel 14:27"Absalom had a daughter, whose name was Tamar."
Three sons - These probably died in infancy (see the marginal reference). From Tamar must have been born Maachah, the mother of Abijah, and the favorite wife of Rehoboam 1 Kings 15:2; 2 Chronicles 11:20-22.
14:27 Sons - All which died not long after they were born, as may be gathered from chap. 18:18 , where it is said, that Absalom had no son.
