"So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. And the king said, “Let him return to his own house, but do not let him see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, but did not see the king’s face. Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised as much as Absalom for his good looks. From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. And when he cut the hair of his head—at the end of every year he cut it because it was heavy on him—when he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels according to the king’s standard" (2 Samuel 14: 23-26) - 2 Samuel, Bible illustrations by James Padgett (1931-2009), published by Sweet Media.

"ثم قام يوآب وذهب إلى جشور وأتى بأبشالوم إلى أورشليم. فقال الملك: «لينصرف إلى بيته ولا ير وجهي». فانصرف أبشالوم إلى بيته ولم ير وجه الملك. ولم يكن في كل إسرائيل رجل جميل وممدوح جدا كأبشالوم، من باطن قدمه حتى هامته لم يكن فيه عيب. وعند حلقه رأسه، إذ كان يحلقه في آخر كل سنة، لأنه كان يثقل عليه فيحلقه، كان يزن شعر رأسه مئتي شاقل بوزن الملك" (صموئيل الثاني 14: 23-26) - صور سفر صموئيل الثاني، رسم جيمز بادجيت (1931-2009)، إصدار شركة سويت ميديا.
