2 Samuel 19:36-38

New Catholic Bible

³⁶ “Your servant will go a short distance across the Jordan with the king. That hardly makes me worthy to receive such a generous reward. ³⁷ Please allow your servant to return to his own town and end his days there, near the graves of my father and my mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and then do for him whatever you think is right.”

³⁸ The king replied: “Chimham shall cross over with me. I shall do for him whatever you wish, and whatever you request from me, I will do for you.”
