2 Samuel 19:35-37

Complete Jewish Bible

^35 (34) Barzillai said to the king, “How much longer can I live, that I should go up with the king to Yerushalayim? ^36 (35) I am now eighty years old. Can I tell good from bad? Can your servant even taste what he eats or drinks? Can I hear the voice of men and women singing any more? Why should your servant burden my lord the king? ^37 (36) Your servant only wants to cross the Yarden with the king; why should the king reward this so generously?
