2 Samuel 19:34-36

Good News Translation

³⁴ But Barzillai answered, “I don't have long to live; why should I go with Your Majesty to Jerusalem? ³⁵ I am already eighty years old, and nothing gives me pleasure any more. I can't taste what I eat and drink, and I can't hear the voices of singers. I would only be a burden to Your Majesty. ³⁶ I don't deserve such a great reward. So I will go just a little way with you beyond the Jordan.
