2 Samuel 14:24-28

24And the kingH4428 saidH559, Let him turnH5437 to his own houseH1004, but let him not seeH7200 my faceH6440. So AbsalomH53 turnedH5437 to his own houseH1004, and sawH7200 not the king’sH4428 faceH6440.

25Now in all IsraelH3478 there wasH1961 none to beH1961 so much praisedH1984 as AbsalomH53 for his beauty: from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 even to the crown of his head there wasH1961 no blemishH3971 in him. 26And when he cut the hairH8181 of his headH7218 (now it wasH1961 at every year’s endH7093 that he cut it; because it wasH1961 heavyH3513 on him, therefore he cut it); he weighedH8254 the hairH8181 of his headH7218 at twoH3967 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255, after the king’sH4428 weightH68. 27And unto AbsalomH53 there wereH1961 bornH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121, and oneH259 daughterH1323, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559: she was a womanH802 of a fair countenance.

28And AbsalomH53 dweltH3427 two full yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and he sawH7200 not the king’sH4428 faceH6440.
