32 Nowe Barzillai was a very aged man, euen fourescore yeere olde, and he had prouided the king of sustenance, while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance. 33 And the king said vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem. 34 And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem? 35 I am this day fourescore yeere olde: and can I discerne betweene good or euill? Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? Wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king? 2 Samuel 19:32-35, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
