2 Samuel 19:33-37

33“Come across with me and live in Jerusalem,” the king said to Barzillai. “I will take care of you there.”

34“No,” he replied, “I am far too old to go with the king to Jerusalem.

35I am eighty years old today, and I can no longer enjoy anything. Food and wine are no longer tasty, and I cannot hear the singers as they sing. I would only be a burden to my lord the king.

36Just to go across the Jordan River with the king is all the honor I need!

37Then let me return again to die in my own town, where my father and mother are buried. But here is your servant, my son Kimham. Let him go with my lord the king and receive whatever you want to give him.”
