21And the king says to Joab, "Now behold, you have done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom." 22And Joab falls on his face to the earth, and pays respect, and blesses the king, and Joab says, "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." 23And Joab rises and goes to Geshur, and brings in Absalom to Jerusalem,24and the king says, "Let him turn around to his house, and he does not see my face." And Absalom turns around to his house, and he has not seen the face of the king. 25And there was no man [so] beautiful in all Israel like Absalom, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even to his crown there was no blemish in him; 26and in his shaving his head—and it has been at the end of year by year that he shaves [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he has shaved it—he has even weighed out the hair of his head—two hundred shekels by the king's weight. 27And there are born to Absalom three sons and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.
