A. ABSALOM'S BEAUTY AND TREACHERY

Now 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. And when he cut the hair of his head, (now

it was at every year's end that he cut it: because the hair was heavy on

him, therefore he cut it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two

hundred shekels, after the king's weight.

And Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run

before him. And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the

gate: and it was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to

the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, "Of what

city art thou?"
