2 Samuel 19:34-36

Jubilee Bible 2000

³⁴ And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?

³⁵ I am this day eighty years old, and shall I tell the difference between the good and the bad? Shall thy slave enjoy what I eat or what I drink? Shall I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should thy slave be yet a burden unto my lord the king?

³⁶ Thy slave will go a little way over the Jordan with the king, and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
