25 Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. ^rFrom 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 ^scut it), he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels¹ by the king’s weight.

1 After this Absalom ^vgot himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
