2 Samuel 19:33-35

New American Standard Bible

³³ So the king said to Barzillai, “You cross over with me, and I will provide you food in Jerusalem with me.” ³⁴ But Barzillai said to the king, “^(A)How long ^[a]do I still have to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? ³⁵ I am ^[b]now ^(B)eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear ^(C)the voice of men and women singing? ^(D)Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
