2 Samuel, Chapter 19, verses 31-39
31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king tonescort him over the Jordan. 32 Now Barzillai was very old, being eighty years old; and he hadosustained the king while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man. 33 The king said to Barzillai, “You cross over with me and I willpsustain you in Jerusalem with me.” 34 But Barzillai said to the king, “How longqhave I yet to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? 35 I amrnow eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king? 36 Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward? 37 Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham, let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.” 38 The king answered, “Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever yousrequire of me, I will do for you.” 39 All the people crossed over the Jordan and the king crossed too. The king then kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place. |
