2 Chronicles 11:20

Maacah] Perhaps the grand-daughter of Absalom, since she is called the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah in 2 Chronicles 13:2 (where "Maacah" should be read with the LXX. for "Michaiah"). Absalom had no son (2 Samuel 18:18), but he may have had a daughter who married Uriel and became the mother of this Maacah.

Abijah Called "Abijam" 1 Kings 15:1.
