2 Samuel 19:34-36

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁴ And Barzillai said to the king, “How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

³⁵ “I am this day eighty years old, and can I discern between good or evil? Has your servant any taste in what I eat, or in that I drink? Can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why, then, should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king?

³⁶ “Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king. And why would the king repay me with such a reward?
