22 Joab tomba la face contre terre et se prosterna, et il bénit le roi. Puis il dit: Ton serviteur connaît aujourd’hui que j’ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, ô roi mon seigneur, puisque le roi agit selon la parole de son serviteur.

23 Et Joab se leva et partit pour Gueschur, et il ramena Absalom à Jérusalem.

24 Mais le roi dit: Qu’il se retire dans sa maison, et qu’il ne voie point ma face. Et Absalom se retira dans sa maison, et il ne vit point la face du roi.

25 Il n’y avait pas un homme dans tout Israël aussi renommé qu’Absalom pour sa beauté; depuis la plante du pied jusqu’au sommet de la tête, il n’y avait point en lui de défaut.

26 Lorsqu’il se rasait la tête, c’était chaque année qu’il se la rasait, parce que sa chevelure lui pesait, le poids des cheveux de sa tête était de deux cents sicles, poids du roi.
