2 Samuel 19:36

Since your servant is only going with the king a little way across the Jordan, why should the king repay me with such a reward? Your servant would but just go over the Yarden with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? Your servant shall go over the Jordan with the king a little way, but why should the king recompense me with this reward? Your servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward? I am not worthy of a reward from you, but I will cross the Jordan River with you. I will cross the Jordan with the king and go a short distance. Why should the king reward me in this way? "Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward? "Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. So why should the king compensate me with this reward? Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde? Your servant would merely pass over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward? I'll cross the river with you, but I'll only go a little way on the other side. You don't have to be so kind to me. I am now eighty years old. Can I tell good from bad? Can your servant even taste what he eats or drinks? Can I hear the voice of men and women singing any more? Why should your servant burden my lord the king? Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward? I don't need any of the things that you want to give me. I will cross the Jordan River with you. Your servant can hardly cross the Jordan with my lord the king; let not my lord the king recompense me with such a reward. I don't deserve such a great reward. So I will go just a little way with you beyond the Jordan. Just a little way your servant shall cross over the Jordan with the king. And why should the king repay me with this reward? thy seruaunt shall go a litle with the kynge ouer Iordane. Why wil the kynge recompence me after this maner? Thy servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? Your servant's desire was only to take the king over Jordan; why is the king to give me such a reward? Thy seruaunt will go a litle way ouer Iordane with the king: & why wyl the king recompence it me with such a rewarde? I am this day fourscore years old; can I discern between good and bad? 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? Thy seruant will goe a little way ouer Iordane with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense? Thy servant would but just go over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? Your servant could go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward? Y thi seruaunt schal go forth a litil fro Jordan with thee, Y haue no nede to this yeldyng; As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this recompense? Your slave would but just go over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward? Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward? Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? Your servant will go a little way across the Jordan with the king. And why should the king repay me with such a reward? Just to go across the Jordan River with the king is all the honor I need! Your servant will only cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king reward me in this good way? Your servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king recompense me with such a reward? Just a little way, will thy servant pass over the Jordan with the king, - but wherefore should the king recompense me with this reward? I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense. Your servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king recompense me with such a reward? As a little thing, your servant passes over the Jordan with the king, and why does the king repay me this repayment? "Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward?

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?
