25. And in all Yisra’ĕl there was no one who was praised as much as Aḇshalom for his good looks. 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 it was at every year’s end that he cut it because it was heavy on him – when he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred sheqels by the sovereign’s weight.
27. And to Aḇshalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of fair appearance.
28. And Aḇshalom dwelt in Yerushalayim, two years, and he had not seen the sovereign’s face.
29. Then Aḇshalom sent for Yo’aḇ, to send him to the sovereign, but he would not come to him. And he sent again the second time, but he would not come.
