2 Samuel 13:37-38
Absalom fled As Absalom had committed wilful murder, he could not avail himself of a city of refuge; but went to Talmai, king of Geshur, his maternal grandfather. Talmai 2Sam 3:3; 1Chr 3:2 Ammihud or, Ammihur am 2974-2977, bc 1030-1027, An, Ex, Is, 461-464, Geshur. This was not the Geshur lying between Philistia and Egypt (Josh 13:13. 1Sam 27:8), but another in Syria; probably the same as that beyond Jordan, whose inhabitants are joined with those of Maachathi, Deut 3:14. Josh 12:5. 2Sam 14:23, 2Sam 14:32, 2Sam 15:8
