32 Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had provided for the king while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man. 33 And the king said to Barzillai, |Come over with me, and I will provide for your old age in Jerusalem with me.| 34 But Barzillai said to the king, |How many more days would I have there, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? 35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of male and female singers? Why then should your servant be any further burden to my lord the king? 2 Samuel 19:32-35, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
