NASB
""Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward?"
— 2 Samuel 19:36, NASB
“Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?”
“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 would but just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?”
“I will cross the Jordan with the king and go a short distance. Why should the king reward me in this way?”
“I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense.”
“Your servant's desire was only to take the king over Jordan; why is the king to give me 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?”
The king said to Barzillai, "You cross over with me and I will sustain you in Jerusalem with me."
But Barzillai said to the king, "How long have I yet to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
"I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
"Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward?
"Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham, let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight."
The king answered, "Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you require of me, I will do for you."
All the people crossed over the Jordan and the king crossed too. The king then kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.
