TALMAI.—1. A clan resident in Hebron at the time of the Hebrew conquest and driven thence by Caleb (Num_13:22, Jos_15:14, Jdg_1:10). 2. Son of Ammihur (or Ammihud), king of Geshur, and a contemporary of David, to whom he gave his daughter Maacah in marriage (2Sa_3:3; 2Sa_13:37, 1Ch_3:2).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


("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.

tal?mı̄, tal?mā́-ı̄ (תּלמי, talmay):
(1) A clan, possibly of Aramean origin, generally reputed to be of gigantic height; resident in Hebron at the time of the Hebrew conquest and driven thence by Caleb (Num_13:22; Jos_15:14; Jdg_1:10).
(2) A son of Ammihur (or Ammihud), king of Geshur, a small Aramean kingdom, and a contemporary of David, to whom he gave his daughter Maacah in marriage. When Absalom fled from David after the assassination of Amnon he took refuge with Talmai at Geshur (2Sa_3:3; 2Sa_13:37; 1Ch_3:2).

(Heb. Talmay', תִּלְמִי, furrowed [Gesenius ] or bold [Fuirst, who comp. Θολομαῖος, Josephus, A nt. 14:8,1; Βαρ-θολομαῖος, Mat_10:3]; Sept. Θολμαί, Θολμί, Θελαμείν, Θολομαϊv, 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.
