Revised Version 1895
2 Samuel 19:31-40
31And Barzillai the Gileadite cameH935 down from Rogelim; and he wentH935 over Jordan with the kingH4428, to conduct him over Jordan.
32Now BarzillaiH1271 was a very aged man, evenH853 fourscore years old: and he had provided the kingH4428 with sustenance whileH3383 he layH7971 at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33And the kingH4428 said unto BarzillaiH1271, Come thou over with meH1121, and I will sustainH3557 thee with meH1121 in Jerusalem.
34And BarzillaiH1271 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should goH5674 upH853 with the kingH4428 unto JerusalemH3389?
35I am this dayH3117 fourscore yearsH3117 old: canH4100 I discern between good and bad? canH4100 thy servant taste whatH4100 I eat or whatH4100 I drink? canH4100 I hear anyH5927 moreH3588 the voice of singing menH8147 and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burdenH413 unto my lord the kingH4428?
36Thy servantH5650 would but justH834 goH1961 over Jordan with the kingH4428: and whyH4100 should the kingH4428 recompense it meH413 with suchH834 a reward?
37Let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, turnH5674 back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, thy servantH5650 Chimham; let him goH5674 over with my lord the kingH4428; and doH4100 to him whatH4100 shall seem good unto thee.
38And the kingH4428 answeredH7725, ChimhamH3643 shall goH7725 over with meH4994, and I will doH6213 to him that whichH834 shall seemH5869 goodH2896 unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of meH4994, that will I doH6213 for thee.
39And allH3605 the peopleH834 went over Jordan, and the kingH4428 went over: and the kingH4428 kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his ownH5869 placeH3605.
40SoH7725 the kingH4428 wentH7725 over to Gilgal, and Chimham wentH7725 over with him: and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of Judah broughtH7725 the kingH4428 over, and also half the peopleH5971 of IsraelH5971.
