In context

33And Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he dwelt in Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

34And the king said to Barzillai, Thou shalt go over with me, and I will nourish thine old age with me in Jerusalem.

— 2 Samuel 19:35 —

36I am this day eighty years old: can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can thy servant taste any longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing men or singing women? and wherefore shall thy servant any longer be a burden to my lord the king?

37Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?
