David Forgives Absalom

25 Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised as much as Absalom for his good looks. ^aFrom 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—at the end of every year he cut it because it was heavy on him—when he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels according to the king’s standard.

27 ^aTo Absalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of beautiful appearance.

28 And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, ^abut did not see the king’s face.

When he polled his head - Not at any particular period, but when the hair became too heavy for him. On this account of the extraordinary weight of Absalom' s hair, see the observations at the end of this chapter, II Samuel 14:30 (note).
