2 Samuel 14:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

25 In all Israel there was no man more praised for his beauty than Absalom, flawless from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 26 When he shaved his head—as he used to do at the end of every year, because his hair became too heavy for him—the hair weighed two hundred shekels according to the royal standard.
