2 Samuel 14:25-27
English Standard Version
25 Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. (A)From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 26 And when he cut the hair of his head (for at the end of every year he used to cut it; when it was heavy on him, he (B)cut it), he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels[a] by the king's weight. 27 There were born (C)to Absalom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a beautiful woman.
