Contextual Overview

31 M'fivoshet said to the king, "Indeed, let him take it all; for me it's enough that my lord the king has come home in peace." 32 Barzillai the Gil‘adi had come down from Roglim and passed on to the Yarden with the king to bring him across the Yarden. 33 Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old; he had provided for the king's needs when he was staying at Machanayim; for he was a wealthy man. 34 The king said to Barzillai, "Come on across with me, and I will provide for your needs with me in Yerushalayim." 35 Barzillai said to the king, "How much longer can I live, that I should go up with the king to Yerushalayim? 36 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? 37 Your servant only wants to cross the Yarden with the king; why should the king reward this so generously? 38 Please, just let your servant go back and die in my own city, near the grave of my father and mother. But here is your servant Khimham; let him cross with my lord the king; and do for him whatever seems good to you." 39 The king answered, "Khimham will cross with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. Whatever you ask of me, I will do for you."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the king said to Barzillai, come thou over with me,.... Over Jordan; Barzillai came with an intent to accompany the king over Jordan; but the king meant not only to go over Jordan, but when over to go further with him, even to Jerusalem:

and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem; meaning, that he should dwell with him in his palace, and eat at his table, in return for feeding him at Mahanaim.
