2 Samuel 14:21–27, “And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again. And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant. So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 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. 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. 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. And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.”
King David found Joab and told him to go and find Absalom and bring him home. Joab went to Geshur, found Absalom and brought him back to Jerusalem. Even though David missed Absalom, he seemed to have trouble speaking to his sons and he refused to see Absalom at all. Absalom was a very good looking man and he knew it. Every year he cut his hair because it was getting very heavy and the hair weighed about five pounds. Absalom had his own family but that stage, he had three sons and a daughter; he called her Tamar after his sister.
