2 Samuel 19:36
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Your servant could go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward?
In context
34 But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?
35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
36 Your servant could go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward?
37 Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
38 The king replied, “Chimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good in your sight, and I will do for you whatever you desire of me.”
