Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? Wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king? 36 Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde? 37 I pray thee, let thy seruant turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buryed in the graue of my father and of my mother: but beholde thy seruant Chimham, let him goe with my lorde the king, and doe to him what shall please thee. 38 And the king answered, Chimham shal go with me, and I will do to him that thou shalt be content with: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee. 39 So all the people went ouer Iorden: and the King passed ouer: and the King kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and hee returned vnto his owne place.
