question:  What was the weight of Absalom’s annual hair growth?

 

 

answer:  Over two pounds!

 

 

“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 [more than 2 pounds] according to the king's standard” (2 Samuel 14:25-26).

 

“This Absalom! There wasn’t a man in all Israel talked about so much for his handsome good looks — and not a blemish on him from head to toe! When he cut his hair — he always cut it short in the spring because it had grown so heavy — the weight of the hair from his head was over two pounds!” (2 Samuel 14:25-27 msg).
