32 Now Barzillai was a very old man at the age of 80 years. A very wealthy man, Barzillai had provided for king David during his sojourn in Mahanaim. 33 So the king invited Barzillai, |Cross the Jordan River with me, live with me in Jerusalem, and I'll provide for you there.| 34 |How many more years do I have to live,| Barzillai replied to the king, |that I should move to Jerusalem with the king? 35 I'm now 80 years old! I can hardly tell the difference between what tastes good or bad! I can't tell what I eat or drink! I can't hear the voice of men and women when they sing! So why should your servant be an added burden to your majesty the king? 2 Samuel 19:32-35, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
