Talmai
(Heb. Talmay’, , furrowed [Gesenius ] or bold [Fuirst, who comp. , Josephus, A nt. 14:8,1; -, Mat 10:3]; Sept. , , , v, etc.; Vulg. Tholmai or Tholomai’), the name of two men.
1. Last named of the three gigantic sons of Anak in Hebron (Num 13:22), who were expelled by Ca leb (Jos 15:14) and slain by the Judahites (Judges 1, 10). B.C. 1618. It has been thought that these people are depicted on the Egyptian monuments as a tall, light complexioned race. In the hieroglyphic inscription they are named Tanmahu, which may be the Egyptian rendering of the Hebrew word Talmai, allowing for the interchange of the liquid I for n, so constant in all languages. The figure is from a picture on a wall of the tomb of Aimenepthah I, supposed to represent a man of the tribe of Talmai, one of the sons of Anak (Burton, Excerpta Hieroiqsphica).
2. Son of Ammihud and king of Geshur (2 Samuel 3, 3; 2Sa 13:37; 1Ch 3:2). B.C. 1045. His daughter Maachah was one of the wives of David and mother of Absalom. He was probably a petty chieftain dependent on David, and his wild retreat in Bashan afforded a shelter to his grandson after the assassination of Amnon. SEE DAVID.

abounding in furrows. (1.) One of the Anakim of Hebron, who were slain by the men of Judah under Caleb (Num. 13:22; Josh. 15:14; Judg. 1:10).
(2.) A king of Geshur, to whom Absalom fled after he had put Amnon to death (2 Sam. 3:3; 13:37). His daughter, Maachah, was one of David’s wives, and the mother of Absalom (1 Chr. 3:2).

Talmai
(“furrows”).
1. One of the three giant sons of Anak slain at Hebron or Kirjath Arba (their dwelling place at the time of the spies, Num 13:22) by the men of Judah under Caleb (Jdg 1:10; Jos 15:14).
2. Of the Geshur royal family, son of king Ammihud; father of David’s wife Maacah (2Sa 13:37); grandfather of Absalom. David formed the unfortunate connection doubtless in his invasion of the Geshurites (1Sa 27:8; 2Sa 3:3). His passion for beauty at all costs bore its bitter fruits. Talmai harboured Absalom, the beautiful son of a beautiful mother, when fleeing after murdering his brother Amnon.
