Footnotes
The identification of Maakah/Maacah as *bat-Avishalom* ('daughter of Absalom') is complicated by 2 Chronicles 13:2, which names her mother as the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah — suggesting Absalom was her grandfather rather than father. 'Daughter' (*bat*) routinely means 'granddaughter' in biblical genealogical idiom. The term *immo* ('his mother') is also used loosely here, as Maakah was Asa's grandmother — a reflection of the dynastic *gevirah* ('queen mother') institution in which the title was functional, not strictly biological. FOG retains the Hebrew *bat* ('daughter/descendant'); FOG Message follows the MT while the footnote carries the genealogical nuance.
