Did David kill any of his sons?
In a surprisingly lengthy diversion, consisting of seven chapters (2 Samuel 13‑19) and apparently of no major historical or religious importance, Absalom, who was David's favourite son but played no prior part in the story of David, killed his own half-brother and much later was himself killed by King David. Absalom's only likely competitor as successor to David was Amnon, who had died at Absalom's hand after the rape of Tamar. So Absalom served David forty years, then decided to launch a coup against his father (2 Samuel 15:7). According to the Bible, David's entire reign only lasted forty years and seven months, so it seems most unlikely that the probable heir to the kingdom really waited for so long and then launched a civil war when David was near the end of his reign and Absalom's inheritance would come soon anyway. The story emphasises the beauty and femininity of Absalom, and of David's love for him. David, the great king who had never before backed away from a fight, was unwilling to fight Absalom, choosing instead to flee the city. Then, when a battle was unavoidable, David commanded his officers to "deal gently" with Absalom, and when the messengers came to tell David of their victory over Absalom, his first concern was whether Absalom was safe. David mourned for Absalom much more than for his firstborn son Amnon, who had been killed at Absalom's command.

Who has the lot of hair in bible?
There were several men in the Bible who had long hair, Samson was one, but possibly you are searching for Absalom, who was one of King David's sons. The bible records that at Absalom's annual haircut, approximately five pounds of hair would be removed. Absalom rebelled against his father David and took the kingdom for a very short period of time. David's troops revived and as Absalom was escaping he was riding a fast mule in the woods when his hair got tangled in some tree branches, which left him dangling there. Joab, David's commander found Absalom and thrust him through with three spears and if that was not enough ten of Joab's armor bearers surrounded him and finished him off. You can find the story of Absalom's death in II Samuel 18:
David had killed Uriah the law demanded a fourfold restitution How did king David's sons die?
David's sons faced tragic fates: Amnon was killed by his half-brother Absalom for assaulting Absalom's sister, Tamar; Absalom died in battle against David's forces while trying to seize the throne; and Adonijah was executed for attempting to claim the throne after David's death. Solomon, David's successor, also had another son, Amnon, who was put to death by Solomon for his rebellion.
