David’s Son Absalom

²⁵ Now throughout all of Israel no one was as handsome as Absalom or so highly praised, from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there wasn’t a single thing wrong about him. ²⁶ Whenever he cut his hair —he cut it at the end of every year, because it grew thick on his head,^[a] which is why he cut it—his hair weighed in at 200 shekels^[b] measured by the royal standard.^{[c] 27} Absalom fathered three sons and one daughter, whom he named Tamar. She was a beautiful woman, both in form and appearance.
