24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Ab´salom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Ab´salom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
26 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.
27 And unto Ab´salom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
28 So Ab´salom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
29 Therefore Ab´salom sent for Jo´ab, 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.
30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Jo´ab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Ab´salom's servants set the field on fire.
