24 But the king said, 'Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.' And so, Absalom returned to his own house, but he did not see the face of the king.
25 Now in all of Israel, there was no man so handsome, and so very stately as Absalom. From the sole of the foot to the top of the head, there was no blemish in him.
26 And when he shaved off his hair, for he shaved it off once a year, because his long hair was burdensome to him, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, by the public weights.
27 Then three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, of elegant form, whose name was Tamar.
28 And Absalom remained for two years in Jerusalem, and he did not see the face of the king.
