Can I tell the difference between what is good and bad? Can your servant taste what he eats or 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? 37 Your servant will merely cross the Jordan with the king for a short distance.

Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him whatever seems good to you." 39 The king said, "Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever you desire.
