So Absalom turned to his owne house, & saw not the Kings face. 25 Nowe in all Israel there was none to be so much praysed for beautie as Absalom: from the sole of his foote euen to the toppe of his head there was no blemish in him. 26 And when he polled his head, (for at euery yeeres ende he polled it: because it was too heauie for him, therefore he polled it) he weyghed the heare of his head at two hundreth shekels by the Kings weight. 27 And Absalom had three sonnes, and one daughter named Tamar, which was a fayre woman to looke vpon.
