2 Samuel 19:32-37
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
32
Barzillai was very old: eighty years old; and he had provided the king food while he stayed in Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
33
So the king said to Barzillai, 'You cross over with me, and I will provide you food in Jerusalem with me.'
34
But Barzillai said to the king, 'How long do I still have to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35
I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singing? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
36
Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. So why should the king compensate me
with
this reward?
37
Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my
own
city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.'
King James Version
Chapter 19
32
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33
And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
34
And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
35
I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
36
Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
37
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried 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 shall seem good unto thee.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 19
32
Barzillai was a very old man—eighty years old—and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the needs of the king while he stayed in Mahanaim.
33
The king said to Barzillai, "Cross over with me, and I’ll provide for you at my side in Jerusalem."
34
Barzillai replied to the king, "How many years of my life are left that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?
35
I’m now eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of male and female singers? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
36
Since your servant is only going with the king a little way across the Jordan, why should the king repay me with such a reward?
37
Please let your servant return so 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. Do for him what seems good to you."
New Living Translation
Chapter 19
32
He was very old — eighty years of age — and very wealthy. He was the one who had provided food for the king during his stay in Mahanaim.
33
Come across with me and live in Jerusalem,' the king said to Barzillai. 'I will take care of you there.'
34
No,' he replied, 'I am far too old to go with the king to Jerusalem.
35
I am eighty years old today, and I can no longer enjoy anything. Food and wine are no longer tasty, and I cannot hear the singers as they sing. I would only be a burden to my lord the king.
36
Just to go across the Jordan River with the king is all the honor I need!
37
Then let me return again to die in my own town, where my father and mother are buried. But here is your servant, my son Kimham. Let him go with my lord the king and receive whatever you want to give him.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 19
32
Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. He had provided the king with food while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.
33
And the king said to Barzillai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for you with me in Jerusalem."
34
But Barzillai said to the king, "How many years have I still to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35
I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or what he drinks? Can I still listen to the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
36
Your servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. 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 grave of my father and my mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him go over with my lord the king, and do for him whatever seems good to you."
New International Version
Chapter 19
32
Now Barzillai was very old, eighty years of age. He had provided for the king during his stay in Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.
33
The king said to Barzillai, "Cross over with me and stay with me in Jerusalem, and I will provide for you."
34
But Barzillai answered the king, "How many more years will I live, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?
35
I am now eighty years old. Can I tell the difference between what is enjoyable and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats and drinks? Can I still hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
36
Your servant will cross over the Jordan with the king for a short distance, but why should the king reward me in this way?
37
Let your servant return, that I may die in my own town near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever you wish."
New King James Version
Chapter 19
32
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. And he had provided the king with supplies while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he
was
a very rich man.
33
And the king said to Barzillai, “Come across with me, and I will provide for you while you are with me in Jerusalem.”
34
But Barzillai said to the king, “How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35
I
am
today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king?
36
Your servant will go a little way across the Jordan with the king. And why should the king repay me
with
such a reward?
37
Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, near the grave 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 seems good to you.”
