Peter
The oldest from which wife?
Absalom was King David's son, in the Old Testament.
Absalom (2 Samuel 18:33)
Tamar's mother was "Maacah"."Absalom, the son of David, had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar" (2 Samuel 13:1) and Absalom was the son of Maacah (2 Samuel 3:3)
Paton makes a lot of allusions to the Bible in his book Cry, the Beloved Country. Absalom's request for his son to be named Peter is an allusion to Peter, a disciple of Christ who was known for denying knowing Christ after he was arrested. When Christ was resurrected, Peter renewed his allegiance to him and the Gospel. This can be compared with Absalom's mistakes in the book (namely, the murder of Arthur Jarvis) and his turning away from God. Naming his son Peter symbolizes his apology and repentance to his father, Stephen. Hope that helps. ~Tara

No, Absalom, the son of King David, did not build a temple. The construction of the temple in Jerusalem was carried out by David's son Solomon, who succeeded David as king. Absalom's rebellion against David and his subsequent death overshadowed any potential contributions he might have made to such a project.
