30And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!
31And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went on as far as Jordan with the king to take him across Jordan.
32Now Barzillai was a very old man, as much as eighty years old: and he had given the king everything he had need of, while he was at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
33And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.
34And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?
35I am now eighty years old: good and bad are the same to me; have meat and drink any taste for me now? am I able to take pleasure in the voices of men or women in song? why then am I to be a trouble to my lord the king?
36Your servant's desire was only to take the king over Jordan; why is the king to give me such a reward?
