Commentary

But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty,.... Which is observed to account in so me measure for the interest he had in the affections of the people, both now and hereafter: from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him; not any spot, freckle, wart, scurf, or scab; nothing deficient or superfluous in him; no disproportion of parts, nor any disagreeable feature; but an entire symmetry, and perfect comeliness, which made him very respectable. The Talmudists (u) make him to be of a gigantic stature. (u) T. Bab. Niddah, fol. 24. 2.
