But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.(2 Samuel 14:25)
And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.(2 Samuel 14:26)
And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.(2 Samuel 14:27)
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.(2 Samuel 14:29)
Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.(2 Samuel 14:30)
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?(2 Samuel 14:31)
