2 Samuel 14:25

Absalom’s Return to Jerusalem

24But the king added, “He may return to his house, but he must not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, but he did not see the king.25Now there was not a man in all Israel as handsome and highly praised as Absalom. From the sole of his foot to the top of his head, he did not have a single flaw. 26And when he cut the hair of his head—he shaved it every year because his hair got so heavy—he would weigh it out to be two hundred shekels, according to the royal standard.
