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?

Verse 35 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Samuel. Barzillai, an elderly man from Gilead, accompanies the king during his return, and David offers him a place in Jerusalem. Barzillai prefers to return to his land and sends Chimham in his place. The episode is a small scene of gratitude and reciprocity within a narrative dominated by wars and betrayals. David publicly recognizes the kindness of those who helped him during his exile and wants that loyalty to continue at court.
