Or in tutto Israele non vi era uomo che fosse lodato per la sua bellezza come Absalom; dalla pianta dei piedi alla cima del capo non vi era in lui difetto alcuno.
Ora in tutto Israele non vi era uomo alcuno che fosse pari ad Absalom in eccellente bellezza; non vi era in lui alcun difetto, dalla pianta del piè fino alla sommità del capo.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
But in all Israel: etc. Heb. And as Absalom there was not a beautiful man in all Israel to praise greatly, 1 Samuel 9:2, 1 Samuel 16:7, Proverbs 31:30, Matthew 23:27
from the sole: Deuteronomy 28:35, Job 2:7, Isaiah 1:6, Ephesians 5:27
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 1:6 - very Esther 1:11 - fair to look on Psalms 119:96 - I have seen Proverbs 27:21 - so Ezekiel 23:15 - all of Daniel 1:4 - in whom
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty,.... Which is observed to account in some measure for the interest he had in the affections of the people, both now and hereafter:
from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him; not any spot, freckle, wart, scurf, or scab; nothing deficient or superfluous in him; no disproportion of parts, nor any disagreeable feature; but an entire symmetry, and perfect comeliness, which made him very respectable. The Talmudists u make him to be of a gigantic stature.
u T. Bab. Niddah, fol. 24. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 14:25. None to be so much praised as Absalom — It was probably his personal beauty that caused the people to interest themselves so much in his behalf; for the great mass of the public is ever caught and led by outward appearances.
There was no blemish in him. — He was perfect and regular in all his features, and in all his proportions.
