2 Sam. 19:31‑40• 31And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
 32And Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old; and it was he that had maintained the king while he abode at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
 33And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee with me in Jerusalem.
 34And Barzillai 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?
 35I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?
 36Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?
 37Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee.
 38And the king said, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which seems good to thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.

 40And the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel. (2 Sam. 19:31‑40)
