     * when he polled.

     * two hundred shekels.
       If the shekel be allowed to mean the common shekel, the amount
       will be utterly incredible; for Josephus says that "two
       hundred shekels make five {min(913a)}" and the {mina,} he says,
       "weighs two pounds and a half;" which calculation makes
       Absalom's hair weigh twelve pounds and a half!  But it is
       probable that the king's shekel was that which Epiphanius and
       Hesychius say was the fourth part of an ounce, half a
       {stater,} or two drachms:  the whole amount, therefore, of the
       200; shekels is about 50; ounces, which make 4; lb. 2; oz. troy
       weight, or 3; lb. 2; oz. avoirdupois.  This need not be
       accounted incredible, especially as abundance of oil and
       ointment was used by the ancients in dressing their heads.
       Josephus informs us, that the Jews also put gold dust in their
       hair.
