2 Samuel 19:36 Context
34And Barzillai sayde vnto the king, How long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the King vnto Ierusalem? 35I am this day fourescore yeeres olde: and can I discerne betweene good and euill? Can thy seruant taste what I eate, or what I drinke? can I heare any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherfore then should thy seruant bee yet a burden vnto my lord the king? 36Thy seruant will goe a little way ouer Iordane with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? 37Let thy seruant, I pray thee, turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buried by the graue of my father, and of my mother: but behold thy seruant Chimham, let him go ouer with my lord the king, and doe to him what shall seeme good vnto thee. 38And the king answered, Chimham shal goe ouer with me, and I will doe to him that which shall seeme good vnto thee: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I doe for thee.
