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.

Verse 38 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.
