2 Samuel 19:35-37
Darby Translation
2 Samuel 19:35-37
Darby Translation
35 I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?
36 Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, 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 seems good to thee.

2 Samuel 19:35-37
New International Version
35 I am now eighty(A) years old. Can I tell the difference between what is enjoyable and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats and drinks? Can I still hear the voices of male and female singers?(B) Why should your servant be an added(C) burden to my lord the king? 36 Your servant will cross over the Jordan with the king for a short distance, but why should the king reward me in this way? 37 Let your servant return, that I may die in my own town near the tomb of my father(D) and mother. But here is your servant Kimham.(E) Let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever you wish.”
