Old Testament/Stories of David (II Samuel 14:23ff)

 . . . . So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.

But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. And when he cut the hair of his head (and it was at the end of every ______ that he cut it, for it was heavy on him so he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at 200 shekels by the king's weight. . . .

How often did Absalom cut his hair? (200 Shekels would be equal to about 5 pounds according to most sources).
