2 Samuel 19:33-37

33And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee with me in Jerusalem.

34And Barzillai said to the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

36Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?

37Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee.
