10:019:033 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come
thou over with me, and
I
will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
10:019:034 And Barzillai said unto the king, How long
have I to live,
that
I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
10:019:035 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?
10:019:036 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan
with the king:
and
why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
10:019:037 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.
10:019:038 And the king answered, Chimham shall go
over with me, and I
will
do to him that which shall seem good unto thee:
and
whatsoever
thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
10:019:039 And all the people went over Jordan.
And when the king was
come
over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and
he
returned
unto his own place.
10:019:040 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham
went on with him:
and
all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also
half
the
people of Israel.
10:019:041 And, behold, all the men of Israel came
to the king, and said
unto
the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen
thee
away, and have brought the king, and his household,
and
all
David’s men with him, over Jordan?
10:019:042 And all the men of Judah answered the men
of Israel, Because
the
king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye
angry for
this
matter? have we eaten at all of the king’s cost?
or hath
he
given us any gift?
10:019:043 And the men of Israel answered the men
of Judah, and said, We
have
ten parts in the king, and we have also more right
in
David
than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our
advice
should
not be first had in bringing back our king? And
the
words
of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of
the
men
of Israel.
10:020:001 And there happened to be there a man of
Belial, whose name was
Sheba,
the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a
trumpet,
and
said, We have no part in David, neither have we
inheritance
in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O
Israel.
