Contextual Overview
21 And the king said to Joab, Behold, now, I have done this thing. Then go, bring back the young man Absalom. 22 And Joab fell on his face to the earth, and bowed, and blessed the king. And Joab said, Today your servant has known that I have found grace in your eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king has done the word of his servant. 23 And Joab rose up and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 24 And the king said, Let him turn to his house, and he shall not see my face. And Absalom turned to his house, and he did not see the king's face. 25 And no man was handsome like Absalom in all Israel, to be so greatly praised. From the sole of his foot to his crown, there was not a blemish in him. 26 And when he sheared his head (for it was at the end of days of days that he sheared it , because the hair was heavy on him, and he sheared it ), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels by the king's weight. 27 And three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter. And her name was Tamar; she was a woman of a beautiful form.
