25 Now in all Israel there was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised; (A)from the sole of his foot to the top of his head there was no impairment in him. 26 And when he (B)cut the hair of his head (and it was at the end of every year that he cut it, because it was heavy on him, so he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at [a]two hundred shekels by the king’s weight. 27 And (C)to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was (D)Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.
