Contextual Overview
31 Barzillai of Gilead came down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan River with King David and send him on his way home. 32 Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He had given the king food and other things when David was staying at Mahanaim. Barzillai could do this because he was a very rich man. 33 David said to Barzillai, "Come across the river with me. I will take care of you if you will live in Jerusalem with me." 34 But Barzillai said to the king, "Do you know how old I am? Do you think I can go with you to Jerusalem? 35 I am 80 years old! I am too old to tell what is bad or good. I cannot taste what I eat or drink or hear the voices of men and women singers. Why should you want to be bothered with me? 36 I don't need any of the things that you want to give me. I will cross the Jordan River with you. 37 Then please let me go back so that I can die in my own town and be buried in the grave of my father and mother. But here is Kimham; take him back with you as a servant, my lord and king. Do whatever you want with him." 38 The king answered, "Kimham will go back with me. I will be kind to him for you. I will do anything for you." 39 The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him. Barzillai went back home, and the king and all the people went across the river.
