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.
