In context

³²Barzillai was quite old, eighty years of age, and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the king while he stayed in Mahanaim.

³³The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.”

³⁴But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?

³⁵I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

³⁶Your servant will go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward?
