Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Samuel 3:3

_ _ Chileab — (“his father’s picture”) — called also Daniel (1 Chronicles 3:1).

_ _ Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur — a region in Syria, north of Israel. This marriage seems to have been a political match, made by David, with a view to strengthen himself against Ish-bosheth’s party, by the aid of a powerful friend and ally in the north. Piety was made to yield to policy, and the bitter fruits of this alliance with a heathen prince he reaped in the life of the turbulent Absalom.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Samuel 3:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Samuel 3:3

Geshur — A part of Syria, northward from the land of Israel. Her he married, as it may seem, in policy, that he might have a powerful friend and ally to assist him against Ishbosheth's party in the north, whilst himself opposed him in the southern parts. But he paid dear for making piety give place to policy, as the history of Absolom sheweth.
