What right{H6666} therefore have{H3426} I yet to cry{H2199}{(H8800)} any more unto the king{H4428}? 29 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Why speakest{H1696}{(H8762)} thou any more of thy matters{H1697}? I have said{H559}{(H8804)}, Thou and Ziba{H6717} divide{H2505}{(H8799)} the land{H7704}. 30 And Mephibosheth{H4648} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, Yea, let him take{H3947}{(H8799)} all, forasmuch{H310} as{H834} my lord{H113} the king{H4428} is come again{H935}{(H8804)} in peace{H7965} unto his own house{H1004}. 31 And Barzillai{H1271} the Gileadite{H1569} came down{H3381}{(H8804)} from Rogelim{H7274}, and went over{H5674}{(H8799)} Jordan{H3383} with the king{H4428}, to conduct{H7971}{(H8763)} him over Jordan{H3383}. 32 Now Barzillai{H1271} was a very{H3966} aged{H2204}{(H8804)} man, even fourscore{H8084} years{H8141} old{H1121}: and he had provided the king{H4428} of sustenance{H3557}{(H8773)} while he lay{H7871} at Mahanaim{H4266}; for he was a very{H3966} great{H1419} man{H376}. 33 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Barzillai{H1271}, Come thou over{H5674}{(H8798)} with me, and I will feed{H3557}{(H8773)} thee with me in Jerusalem{H3389}. 34 And Barzillai{H1271} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, How long{H3117} have I to live{H8141}{H2416}, that I should go up{H5927}{(H8799)} with the king{H4428} unto Jerusalem{H3389}? 35 I am this day{H3117} fourscore{H8084} years{H8141} old{H1121}: and can I discern{H3045}{(H8799)} between good{H2896} and evil{H7451}? can thy servant{H5650} taste{H2938}{(H8799)} what{H834} I eat{H398}{(H8799)} or what{H834} I drink{H8354}{(H8799)}? can I hear{H8085}{(H8799)} any more the voice{H6963} of singing men{H7891}{(H8802)} and singing women{H7891}{(H8802)}? wherefore then should thy servant{H5650} be yet a burden{H4853} unto my lord{H113} the king{H4428}? 36 Thy servant{H5650} will go{H5674} a little way{H4592} over{H5674}{(H8799)} Jordan{H3383} with the king{H4428}: and why should the king{H4428} recompense{H1580}{(H8799)} it me with such a reward{H1578}? 37 Let thy servant{H5650}, I pray thee, turn back again{H7725}{(H8799)}, that I may die{H4191}{(H8799)} in mine own city{H5892}, and be buried by the grave{H6913} of my father{H1} and of my mother{H517}. But behold thy servant{H5650} Chimham{H3643}; let him go over{H5674}{(H8799)} with my lord{H113} the king{H4428}; and do{H6213}{(H8798)} to him what shall seem good{H2896}{H5869} unto thee. 38 And the king{H4428} answered{H559}{(H8799)}, Chimham{H3643} shall go{H5674}{(H8799)} over with me, and I will do{H6213}{(H8799)} to him that which shall seem good{H2896}{H5869} unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require{H977}{(H8799)} of me, that will I do{H6213}{(H8799)} for thee. 39 And all the people{H5971} went over{H5674}{(H8799)} Jordan{H3383}. And when the king{H4428} was come over{H5674}{(H8804)}, the king{H4428} kissed{H5401}{(H8799)} Barzillai{H1271}, and blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} him; and he returned{H7725}{(H8799)} unto his own place{H4725}.
