2 Samuel 19:31-35

Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.

Barzillai was very old: eighty years old; and he had provided the king food while he stayed in Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

So the king said to Barzillai, “You cross over with me, and I will provide you food in Jerusalem with me.”

But Barzillai said to the king, “How long do I still have to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singing? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
