2 Samuel 19:34-36

Expanded Bible

³⁴ But Barzillai answered the king, “·Do you know how old I am [^LHow long do I have to live]? Do you think I can go with you to Jerusalem? ³⁵ I am eighty years old! Can your servant tell the difference between what is ·good [pleasant] and ·bad [unpleasant]? ·I am too old to [^LCan I…?] taste what I eat or drink. ·I am too old to [^LCan I …?] hear the voices of men and women singers. Why should you be ·bothered [burdened] with ·me [^Lyour servant]? ³⁶ ·I am not worthy of a reward from you, but I will cross [^LWhy should the king reward me for merely going across…?] the Jordan River with you.
