Avshalom reigned in Year 2921, three years before the death of his father [(Tzemach David). In the first chapter of Nedarim, Shimon HaTzaddik said: In all my days I never ate an asham [offering] except once - one from the south, and he was a Nazirite, beautiful of eyes and good of appearance. He was the rectification of Avshalom who became haughty because of his hair and was a Nazirite for Heaven. Also, it was the secret of the hair of Adam HaRishon.

Avshalom was a spark of Bat-Sheva, for she remained pregnant when David lay with her, and also his spirit. And impurity was added upon his impurity - Avshalom pursued his father. And Avshalom son of Ma'acha, a woman of beautiful form, was a reincarnation of Nachash king of Ammon, and the Rashbi connected the wayward son to the beautiful woman (Bereishit Nezer)].

Ma'acha [daughter of Talmai king of Geshur was the rectification of Tzefanat bat Peniel. In the chapter of the elders, she was a beautiful woman, and a captive mistreated her all night. The next day he clothed her in seven garments. The rectification of Ma'acha mentioned above - she was beautiful - also, she was a spark of Tzefanat, the mother of Avner, the ba'alat ov (see Year 2882).

Attach to Shmuel, and the ugliest person was Avshalom her son, and the captive was Talmai, and the clothing of seven garments and the stripping, as Chazal say: "Daughters of Kutim adorn themselves at the time of war" for prostitution.

Therefore she suffered for the rectification of all the above (Bereishit Nezer)].

Chushai HaArki is buried in the city of Yirka [(BeHaDi)].
