2 Samuel 5:4 says:

4David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.

Thus, he died at age seventy. The Reese Chronological Bible dates David's death to 985 BC and Absalom's rebellion to 993 BC. Therefore, David must have been around 62. Pretty old to be fighting a young buck.

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:
