2 Samuel 14:26

וּֽבְגַלְּחוֹ אֶת ־ רֹאשׁוֹ וְֽהָיָה מִקֵּץ יָמִים ׀ לַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר יְגַלֵּחַ כִּֽי ־ כָבֵד עָלָיו וְגִלְּחוֹ וְשָׁקַל אֶת ־ שְׂעַר רֹאשׁוֹ מָאתַיִם שְׁקָלִים בְּאֶבֶן הַמֶּֽלֶךְ ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

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.
