2 Samuel 19:36
Source: Septuagint
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?

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 19:36 —
37Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?
38Let, I pray thee, thy servant remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my mother. And, behold, thy servant Chimham shall go over with my lord the king; and do thou to him as it seems good in thine eyes.
