* Now Barzillai was a very aged man , even fourscore years old : and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim ; for he was a very great man . * And the king said unto Barzillai , Come thou over with me , and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem . * And Barzillai said unto the king , How long have I to live shaneh #, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem ? * I am this day fourscore years old : and can I discern between good and evil ? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink ? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women ? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king ? * Thy servant will goa little way over Jordan with the king : and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward ? * Let thy servant , I pray thee , turn back again , that I may die in mine own city , and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother . But behold thy servant Chimham ; let him go over with my lord the king ; and do to him what shall seem good towb # unto thee . * And the king answered , Chimham shall go over with me , and I will do to him that which shall seem good towb # unto thee : and whatsoever thou shalt require of me , that will I do for thee . * And all the people went over Jordan . And when the king was come over , the king kissed Barzillai , and blessed him ; and he returned unto his own place . * Then the king went on to Gilgal , and Chimham went on with him : and all the people of Judah conducted (8675 ) the king , and also half the people of Israel Yisra #el #. * And , behold , all the men of Israel came to the king , and said unto the king , Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away , and have brought the king , and his household , and all Davids men with him , over Jordan ? * And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel Yisra #el #, Because the king is near of kin to us : wherefore then be ye angry for this matter ? have we eaten at all of the kings cost ? or hath he given us any gift nisse #th #? * And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah , and said , We have ten parts in the king , and we have also more right in David than ye : why then did ye despise us , that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king ? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel Yisra #el #.
