28. For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more unto the king?
29. And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
30. And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come in peace unto his own house:
31. And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he 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 sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33. And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem.
34. And Barzillai said unto the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
35. I am this day fourscore years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
36. Thy servant would but just go over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
