## 2 Samuel 14:26 in Context (Verses 23–29 KJV)
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-samuel/14/23) So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-samuel/14/24) And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-samuel/14/25) ¶ 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.*
 
 [26 ](/kjv/2-samuel/14/26) 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 ](/kjv/2-samuel/14/27) And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name *was* Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/2-samuel/14/28) ¶ So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king’s face.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/2-samuel/14/29) 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.
