2 Samuel 19:33-37

33So the kingH4428 saidH559 to BarzillaiH1271, “You crossH5674 overH5674 with me, and I will provideH3557 you foodH3557 in JerusalemH3389 with me.”

34But BarzillaiH1271 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “1HowH4100 longH3117H8141 2do I still have to liveH2425, that I should goH5927 upH5927 with the kingH4428 to JerusalemH3389?

35I am 3nowH3117 4eightyH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121. Can I distinguishH3045 betweenH996 goodH2896 and badH7451? OrH518 can your servantH5650 tasteH2938 whatH834 I eatH398 or whatH834 I drinkH8354? OrH518 can I stillH5750 hearH8085 5the voiceH6963 of menH7891 and womenH7891 singingH7891? 6WhyH4100 then should your servantH5650 be an addedH5750 burdenH4853 to my lordH113 the kingH4428?

36Your servantH5650 would merelyH4592 crossH5674 overH5674 the JordanH3383 with the kingH4428. So whyH4100 should the kingH4428 compensateH1580 me with thisH2088 rewardH1578?

37PleaseH4994 let your servantH5650 returnH7725, so that I may dieH4191 in my own cityH5892 nearH5973 the graveH6913 of my fatherH1 and my motherH517. However, hereH2009 is your servantH5650 7ChimhamH3643; let him crossH5674 overH5674 with my lordH113 the kingH4428, and doH6213 for him whatH834 is goodH2895 in your sightH5869.”
