The Bible says of him: “Now compared with Absalom there proved to be no man so beautiful in all Israel as to be praised so much. From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there proved to be no defect in him. ”
Piibel ütleb tema kohta: „Kogu Iisraelis ei olnud nii ilusat meest kui Absalom, mitte ühtki, keda nii väga oleks ülistatud: jalatallast pealaeni ei olnud temal midagi viga ”.
