2 Samuel 19:33 in context

  1. 31Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
  2. 32Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
  3. 33The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”
  4. 34Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
  5. 35I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
