2 Samuel 19:35-37

21st Century King James Version

³⁵ I am this day fourscore years old, and can I discern between good and evil? Can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?

³⁶ Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. And why should the king recompense me with such a reward?

³⁷ Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham. Let him go over with my lord the king, and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.”
