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. ”
يقول الكتاب المقدس عنه :‏ « لم يكن في كل اسرائيل رجل جميل وممدوح جدا كأبشالوم من باطن قدمه حتى هامته لم يكن فيه عيب » .‏
