The answer is: Absalom

2 Sam 14:26

Absalom, the son of King David, stands out not only for his tumultuous life but also for his strikingly long hair, which carried with it both physical and symbolic weight. Can you imagine a character whose locks alone could steal the show? Waiting for that annual haircut, we learn that his hair bestows upon him an unusual glamour—it weighed 200 shekels, roughly 5 pounds! In terms of biblical trivia, that's quite a lot of hair and perhaps reflects more than mere vanity; it underlines Absalom’s larger-than-life persona.

Despite his verse-reeling style (think the early 2000s rock stars), this magnificent mane turned into a metaphorical noose of sorts. His excessive pride and ambition led him down a dark path. In absolute irony, his glorious locks ultimately become a snare during his rebellion and disastrous defeat, when in 2 Samuel 18, rather dramatically, his head gets caught in a tree.

Absalom echoes a lesson within the tales of Israel’s kings: pride can lead to fall, oftenk in catastrophic ways. His name, interestingly, means "father of peace," though the legacy he left was anything but peaceful. Instead, today, he serves as a slick warning in history, reminding readers of the entrapments posed by both physical beauty and emotional ambition—abundant flags cropping up in the stories of rulers throughout the ages.
