Shmuel Bais 19:33-35

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^33 (34) HaMelech said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and with me I will be your support in Yerushalayim.

^34 (35) And Barzillai said unto HaMelech, How long have I to live, that I should go up with HaMelech to Yerushalayim?

^35 (36) I am this day fourscore shanah old; and can I discern between tov and rah? Can thy eved taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of sharim (singing men) and sharot (singing women)? Why then should thy eved be yet a massa (burden) unto adoni HaMelech?
