2 Samuel 19:34-37

34Barzillai replied to the king, “How many years of my life are left that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?

35I’m now eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of male and female singers? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

36Since your servant is only going with the king a little way across the Jordan, why should the king repay me with such a reward?

37Please let your servant return so that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him what seems good to you.”
