Contextual Overview

³¹ Barzillai of Gilead came down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan River with the king. ³² Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old. He had taken care of the king when David was staying at Mahanaim, because Barzillai was a very rich man. ³³ David said to Barzillai, "Cross the river with me. Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you." ³⁴ But Barzillai answered the king, "Do you know how old I am? Do you think I can go with you to Jerusalem? ³⁵ I am eighty years old! I am too old to taste what I eat or drink. I am too old to hear the voices of men and women singers. Why should you be bothered with me? ³⁶ I am not worthy of a reward from you, but I will cross the Jordan River with you. ³⁷ Then let me go back so I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and mother. But here is Kimham, your servant. Let him go with you, my master and king. Do with him whatever you want." ³⁸ The king answered, "Kimham will go with me. I will do for him anything you wish, and I will do anything for you that you wish." ³⁹ The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him. Then Barzillai returned home, and the king and all the people crossed the Jordan.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king,.... That is, go a little way after he was over Jordan with him, and then return to his own city:

and why should the king recompense it with such a reward? the sense is, why should the king recompense so trifling a thing as I have done, and which was but my duty, with such a reward, as to maintain me in so grand a manner at his court?
