2 Samuel 19:36

---

← 2 Samuel 19:35	2 Samuel 19:36 (KJV)	2 Samuel 19:37 →
I [am] this day fourscore years old: [and] can I discern between good and evil? 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?	Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?	Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, [and be buried] by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
