2 Samuel 14:26

King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible

And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year’s end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king’s weight.
And when he cut the hair of his head—he shaved it every year because his hair got so heavy—he would weigh it out to be two hundred shekels (note: 200 shekels is approximately 5 pounds or 2.3 kilograms of hair.), according to the royal standard.
