2 Samuel 19:34-35

34But Barzillai answered the king, “How many more years will I live, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?

35I am now eighty years old. Can I tell the difference between what is enjoyable and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats and drinks? Can I still hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
