Who was the third and favourite son of David in Old Testament ?
Absalom, (flourished c. 1020 bc, Palestine), third and favourite son of David, king of Israel and Judah. The picture of Absalom that is presented in 2 Samuel 13–19 suggests that he was the Alcibiades of the Old Testament, alike in his personal attractiveness, his lawless insolence, and his tragic fate.
