2 Samuel 19:29-33 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

29. The king said to him, “Don’t say anything more. I have decided that you and Ziba may divide the land.”

30. Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let Ziba take all the land. I’m just happy that my master the king has arrived in peace at his own house.”

31. Barzillai of Gilead came down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan River with the king.

32. Now Barzillai was a very old man. He was 80 years old. He had taken care of the king when David was staying at Mahanaim. Barzillai could do this, because he was a very rich man.

33. David said to Barzillai, “Cross the river with me. Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
