married Mahalath (his cousin), daughter of King David’s son Jerimoth and his wife, Abihail, grand-daughter (not “daughter”) of Eliab [an older brother of King David, or one of Jesse’s eight sons]. Three sons: Jeush, Shamariah (Semariah) [ancestor of a secondary-line], Zaham

married Maachlah (a cousin’s dau.) [in 1 Ki 15:2 she is said to be daughter of Absalom, the late crown-prince, his uncle, but in 2 Chr 13:2 said to be daughter of Uriel of Gibeah, which discrepancy is resolved by the supposition that she was the daughter of Tamar, Absalom’s daughter, and her husband, Uriel of Gibeah, which makes her the “grand-daughter” of Absalom and not actually his “daughter”]. Son: Abijah (Abijam)¹
