The name Maachah is of Hebrew origin, meaning "oppression" or "to press." 1. Maachah, the Region: Maachah was a small Aramean kingdom located near the region of Geshur, east of the Sea of Galilee. It is mentioned in the context of the territorial conquests of the Israelites. In <a href="/joshua/13-11.htm">Joshua 13:11</a>, the land of Maachah is listed among the territories that were not conquered by the Israelites: "Gilead, and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah." 2. Maachah, the Daughter of Talmai: Maachah was the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur, and became one of King David's wives. She is the mother of Absalom and Tamar. Her marriage to David is noted in <a href="/2_samuel/3-3.htm">2 Samuel 3:3</a>: "his third was Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur." Maachah's influence is seen in the lives of her children, particularly in the tragic events surrounding Absalom's rebellion and Tamar's violation. 3. Maachah, the Wife of Rehoboam: Another Maachah is mentioned as the wife of King Rehoboam and the mother of Abijah, king of Judah. She is described as the daughter of Absalom, though some texts refer to her as the granddaughter, suggesting a possible generational gap or textual variation. In <a href="/1_kings/15-2.htm">1 Kings 15:2</a>, it is stated: "He reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom." Maachah held significant influence as the queen mother, but her idolatrous practices led to her removal from this position by her grandson Asa, as recorded in <a href="/1_kings/15-13.htm">1 Kings 15:13</a>: "He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole." 4. Maachah, the Concubine of Caleb: In <a href="/1_chronicles/2-48.htm">1 Chronicles 2:48</a>, Maachah is mentioned as a concubine of Caleb, a descendant of Judah: "Caleb’s concubine Maacah gave birth to Sheber and Tirhanah." This reference highlights the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. 5. Maachah, the Father of Hanan: In <a href="/1_chronicles/11-43.htm">1 Chronicles 11:43</a>, Maachah is listed as the father of Hanan, one of David's mighty warriors: "Hanan son of Maacah, Joshaphat the Mithnite." The various references to Maachah in the Bible illustrate the complexity of familial and political relationships in ancient Israel and its neighboring regions. The individuals named Maachah played roles in the unfolding narrative of Israel's history, often intertwined with themes of power, influence, and the consequences of idolatry.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Maachahpressed down; worn; fastened<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Maachah(oppression). <ol> <li>The daughter of Nahor by his concubine Beumah.

The father of Hanan, who was one of David's body-guard (<a href="/1_chronicles/11-43.htm">1 Chronicles 11:43</a>).(4.) The daughter of Abishalom (called Absalom, <a href="/2_chronicles/11-20.htm">2 Chronicles 11:20</a>-22), the third wife of Rehoboam, and mother of Abijam (<a href="/1_kings/15-2.htm">1 Kings 15:2</a>). She is called "Michaiah the daughter of Uriel," who was the husband of Absalom's daughter Tamar (<a href="/2_chronicles/13-2.htm">2 Chronicles 13:2</a>). Her son Abijah or Abijam was heir to the throne.(5.) The father of Achish, the king of Gath (<a href="/1_kings/2-39.htm">1 Kings 2:39</a>), called also Maoch (<a href="/1_samuel/27-2.htm">1 Samuel 27:2</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>MAACAH; MAACHAHma'-a-ka (ma`akhah): (1) Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus Mocha; Codex Alexandrinus Mocha, daughter of Nahor, borne to him by Reumah (<a href="/genesis/22-24.htm">Genesis 22:24</a>). (2) Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus Maacha; Codex Alexandrinus Maachath, the one wife of David who was of royal rank, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur, who became the mother of Absalom (<a href="/2_samuel/3-3.htm">2 Samuel 3:3</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/3-2.htm">1 Chronicles 3:2</a>). (3) Maacha, father of Achish, king of Gath (<a href="/1_kings/2-39.htm">1 Kings 2:39</a>). He is probably referred to as "Maoch" in <a href="/1_samuel/27-2.htm">1 Samuel 27:2</a>.

Evidently "daughter" must here be understood as "granddaughter," according to a common oriental usage. Tamar was the only daughter of Absalom. If Tamar married Uriel of Gibeah (<a href="/2_chronicles/13-2.htm">2 Chronicles 13:2</a>), then Maacah was her daughter. In that case the name Micaiah in this passage would be either a copyist's error or a variant of Maacah. She must have been a woman of strong personality. Unfortunately, her influence was cast upon the side of idolatry. She maintained her position in the palace, however, till the reign of her grandson Asa. Possibly she acted as regent during his minority. Ultimately, she was degraded by him for an act of peculiar infamy (<a href="/1_kings/15-13.htm">1 Kings 15:13</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/15-16.htm">2 Chronicles 15:16</a>).
