32 and Barzillai 'is' very aged, a son of eighty years, and he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he 'is' a very great man;
33 and the king saith unto Barzillai, 'Pass thou over with me, and I have sustained thee with me in Jerusalem.'
34 And Barzillai saith unto the king, 'How many 'are' the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 A son of eighty years I 'am' to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a burden unto my lord the king?
36 As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this recompense?
