2 Samuel 14:25-33

25Now in allH3605 IsraelH3478 was noH3808 oneH376 as handsomeH3303 as AbsalomH53, so highlyH3966 praisedH1984; 1from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 to the crownH6936 of his headH6936 there was noH3808 defectH4140 in him. 26When he 2cutH1548 the hair of his headH7218 (and it was at the endH7093 of every yearH3117 that he cutH1548 it, for it was heavyH3515 on him so he cutH1548 it), he weighedH8254 the hairH8181 of his headH7218 at 200H3967 shekelsH8255 by the king’sH4428 weightH68. 273To AbsalomH53 there were bornH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121, and oneH259 daughterH1323 whose nameH8034 was 4TamarH8559; she was a womanH802 of beautifulH3303 appearanceH4758.

28Now AbsalomH53 livedH3427 two fullH3117 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, 5and did not seeH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440. 29Then AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for JoabH3097, to sendH7971 him to the kingH4428, but he wouldH14 not comeH935 to him. So he sentH7971 againH5750 a secondH8145 timeH8145, but he wouldH14 not comeH935. 30Therefore he saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “SeeH7200, 6Joab’sH3097 7fieldH2513 is nextH413 to mine, and he has barleyH8184 thereH8033; goH1980 and setH3341 it on fireH784.” So Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 setH3341 the 8fieldH2513 on fireH784. 31Then JoabH3097 aroseH6965, cameH935 to AbsalomH53 at his houseH1004 and saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 have your servantsH5650 setH3341 my 9fieldH2513 on fireH784?” 32AbsalomH53 10answeredH559 JoabH3097, “BeholdH2009, I sentH7971 for you, sayingH559, ‘ComeH935 hereH2008, that I may sendH7971 you to the kingH4428, to sayH559, “WhyH4100 have I comeH935 from GeshurH1650? It would be betterH2896 for me stillH5750 to be thereH8033.”’ NowH6258 therefore, let me seeH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440, 11and ifH518 thereH3426 is iniquityH5771 in me, let him putH4191 me to deathH4191.” 33So when JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428 and toldH5046 him, he calledH7121 for AbsalomH53. Thus he cameH935 to the kingH4428 and prostratedH7812 himself on his faceH639 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and 12the kingH4428 kissedH5401 AbsalomH53.
