28. For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet did you set your servant among them that did eat at your own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
29. And the king said unto him, Why speak you any more of your matters? I have said, You and Ziba divide the land.

31. And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
32. Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king with supplies while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33. And the king said unto Barzillai, Come you over with me, and I will feed you with me in Jerusalem.
34. And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
35. I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why then should your servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
36. Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward?
