2 Samuel 19:32-39
32Now BarzillaiH1271 was a veryH3966 agedH2204 man, even fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121: and he had provided the kingH4428 of sustenanceH3557 while he layH7871 at MahanaimH4266; for he was a veryH3966 greatH1419 manH376.
33And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto BarzillaiH1271, Come thou overH5674 with me, and I will feedH3557 thee with me in JerusalemH3389.
34And BarzillaiH1271 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, How longH3117 have I to liveH2416H8141, that I should go upH5927 with the kingH4428 unto JerusalemH3389?1
35I am this dayH3117 fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121: and can I discernH3045 between goodH2896 and evilH7451? can thy servantH5650 tasteH2938 whatH834 I eatH398 or whatH834 I drinkH8354? can I hearH8085 any more the voiceH6963 of singing menH7891 and singing womenH7891? wherefore then should thy servantH5650 be yet a burdenH4853 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428?
36Thy servantH5650 will goH5674 a little wayH4592 overH5674 JordanH3383 with the kingH4428: and why should the kingH4428 recompenseH1580 it me with such a rewardH1578?
37Let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, turn back againH7725, that I may dieH4191 in mine own cityH5892, and be buried by the graveH6913 of my fatherH1 and of my motherH517. But behold thy servantH5650 ChimhamH3643; let him go overH5674 with my lordH113 the kingH4428; and doH6213 to him what shall seem goodH5869H2896 unto thee.
38And the kingH4428 answeredH559, ChimhamH3643 shall goH5674 over with me, and I will doH6213 to him that which shall seem goodH5869H2896 unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt requireH977 of me, that will I doH6213 for thee.2
39And all the peopleH5971 went overH5674 JordanH3383. And when the kingH4428 was come overH5674, the kingH4428 kissedH5401 BarzillaiH1271, and blessedH1288 him; and he returnedH7725 unto his own placeH4725.
