2 Samuel 14:26-28
International Standard Version
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.
28 Meanwhile, Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years, but never saw the king’s face.
