    32But Barzillai was very old– eighty years old, in fact– and he had taken care of the king when he stayed in Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.

    33So the king said to Barzillai,“Cross over with me, and I will take care of you while you are with me in Jerusalem.”

    34Barzillai replied to the king,“How many days do I have left to my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

    35I am presently eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I continue to be a burden to my lord the king?

    36I will cross the Jordan with the king and go a short distance. Why should the king reward me in this way?

    37Let me return so that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever seems appropriate to you.”

    38The king replied,“Kimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever I deem appropriate. And whatever you choose, I will do for you.”

    39So all the people crossed the Jordan, as did the king. After the king had kissed him and blessed him, Barzillai returned to his home.

    40When the king crossed over to Gilgal, Kimham crossed over with him. Now all the soldiers of Judah along with half of the soldiers of Israel had helped the king cross over.

    41Then all the men of Israel began coming to the king. They asked the king,“Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, sneak the king away and help the king and his household cross the Jordan– and not only him but all of David’s men as well?”
