When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.

ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૪:૨૬
તેના માથાના વાળ વધવાથી તે દર વર્ષને અંતે માથાના વાળ કપાવતો, ત્યારે તે પોતાના માથાના વાળનું વજન કરાવતો હતો. તેનું વજન રાજાના તોલ પ્રમાણે બસો શેકેલ થતું.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १४:२६
वह वर्ष के अन्त में अपना सिर मुँण्डवाता था; (उसके बाल उसको भारी जान पड़ते थे, इस कारण वह उसे मुँड़ाता था) और जब जब वह उसे मुँड़ाता तब-तब अपने सिर के बाल तौलकर राजा के तौल के अनुसार दो सौ शेकेल भर पाता था।

In context

24The king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face.

25Now in all Israel there was no one 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 defect in him.

26When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.

27Three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman with a beautiful face.

28Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, and he didn’t see the king’s face.
