rsv@2Samuel:19:34 @ But Barzil'lai said to the king, "How many years have I still to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
rsv@2Samuel:19:35 @ I am this day eighty years old; can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or what he drinks? Can I still listen to the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
rsv@2Samuel:19:36 @ Your servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king recompense me with such a reward?
rsv@2Samuel:19:37 @ Pray let your servant return, that I may die in my own city, near the grave of my father and my mother. But here is your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do for him whatever seems good to you."
