<p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? 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?</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Visit us on all our social media platforms:</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="https://linktr.ee/sovereignkingchurch">https://linktr.ee/sovereignkingchurch</a></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Listen on the go on your favorite podcast service:</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Apple - <a href="https://tinyurl.com/uxw3awb6">https://tinyurl.com/uxw3awb6</a></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Spotify - <a href="https://tinyurl.com/3afr2amz">https://tinyurl.com/3afr2amz</a></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">CCLI Copyright License 21770970 Size A - Streaming License # 21770963 Size A</p>
