Absalom (Hebrew: אַבְשָׁלוֹם ʾAḇšālōm, "father of peace") was the third son of David, King of Israel with Maacah, daughter of Talmai, King of Geshur.[2]

2 Samuel 14:25 describes him as the handsomest man in the kingdom.[3] Absalom eventually rebelled against his father and was killed during the Battle of Ephraim's Wood.[4]
