And MephiboshethH4648 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Yea, let him takeH3947 all, forasmuchH310 asH834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 is come againH935 in peaceH7965 unto his own houseH1004.

Now BarzillaiH1271 was a veryH3966 agedH2204 man, even fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121: and he had provided the kingH4428 of sustenanceH3557 while he layH7871 at MahanaimH4266; for he was a veryH3966 greatH1419 manH376.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto BarzillaiH1271, Come thou overH5674 with me, and I will feedH3557 thee with me in JerusalemH3389.
And BarzillaiH1271 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, How longH3117 have I to liveH8141+H2416, that I should go upH5927 with the kingH4428 unto JerusalemH3389? {How…: Heb. How many days are the years of my life}
I am this dayH3117 fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121: and can I discernH3045 between goodH2896 and evilH7451? can thy servantH5650 tasteH2938 whatH834 I eatH398 or whatH834 I drinkH8354? can I hearH8085 any more the voiceH6963 of singing menH7891 and singing womenH7891? wherefore then should thy servantH5650 be yet a burdenH4853 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428?
Thy servantH5650 will goH5674 a little wayH4592 overH5674 JordanH3383 with the kingH4428: and why should the kingH4428 recompenseH1580 it me with such a rewardH1578?
Let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, turn back againH7725, that I may dieH4191 in mine own cityH5892, and be buried by the graveH6913 of my fatherH1 and of my motherH517. But behold thy servantH5650 ChimhamH3643; let him go overH5674 with my lordH113 the kingH4428; and doH6213 to him what shall seem goodH2896+H5869 unto thee.
And the kingH4428 answeredH559, ChimhamH3643 shall goH5674 over with me, and I will doH6213 to him that which shall seem goodH2896+H5869 unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt requireH977 of me, that will I doH6213 for thee. {require: Heb. choose}

But the kingH4428 sparedH2550 MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, because of the LORD'SH3068 oathH7621 that was between them, between DavidH1732 and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586.

And there they were with DavidH1732 threeH7969 daysH3117, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354: for their brethrenH251 had preparedH3559 for them.
Moreover they that were nighH7138 them, even unto IssacharH3485 and ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321, broughtH935 breadH3899 on assesH2543, and on camelsH1581, and on mulesH6505, and on oxenH1241, and meatH3978, mealH7058, cakesH1690 of figs, and bunches of raisinsH6778, and wineH3196, and oilH8081, and oxenH1241, and sheepH6629 abundantlyH7230: for there was joyH8057 in IsraelH3478. {meat…: or, victual of meal}
