33 And the king will say to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will nourish thee with me in Jerusalem. 34 And Barzillai will say to the king, According to what the days of the years of my life, that I shall go up with the king to Jerusalem? 35 The son of eighty years am I this day; shall I know between good to evil? if thy servant shall taste what I shall eat, and what I shall drink? if I shall yet hear to the voice of men singing or of women singing? and wherefore shall thy servant be yet for a burden to my lord the king? 36 As thy servant will pass a little over Jordan with the king; and wherefore shall the king recompense me this recompense? 37 Turn back now thy servant and I will die in my city, by the grave of my father and my mother: and behold, thy servant Chimham shall pass over with my lord the king; and do to him what is good in thine eyes. 38 And the king will say, With me shall Chimham pass over, and I will do to him the good in thine eyes; and all which thou shalt choose of me I will do to thee. 2 Samuel 19:33-38, Smith's Literal Translation.
