Context of 2 Samuel 19:31
29And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land. 30And Mephibosheth said unto the king, yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come in peace unto his own house. And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan. 32Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man. 33And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem.
