32 Barzellai was a very aged man, euen foure score yeres olde, and prouided the king of sustenaunce while he laye at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substaunce. 33 And the king said vnto Barzellai, come ouer with me, & I will feede thee with me in Hierusalem. 34 And Barzellai saide vnto the king: How long haue I to liue, that I shuld go vp with the king vnto Hierusalem? 35 I am this day foure score yeres olde: & can I deserue betweene good or euyll? Hath thy seruaunt any taste in that he eateth or drinketh? Can he heare any more the voyce of syngyng men and women? wherfore the should thy seruaunt be yet a burthen vnto my lord the king? 2 Samuel 19:32-35, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
