2 Samuel 19:33-37

33So the king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will take care of you while you are with me in Jerusalem.”

34Barzillai replied to the king, “How many days do I have left to my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35I am presently eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I continue to be a burden to my lord the king?

36I will cross the Jordan with the king and go a short distance. Why should the king reward me in this way?

37Let me return so that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever seems appropriate to you.”
