Barzillai the Gileadite comes down from Rogelim and goes over the Jordan with the king, and the king kisses him

길르앗 사람 바르실래가 로글림에서 내려와 왕과 함께 요단에 이르고 왕이 그의 입을 맞춤

2 Samuel 19:31–39: Barzillai the Gileadite comes down from Rogelim; and he goes over the Jordan with the king to conduct him over the Jordan. The text says, “Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.” The king says to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.” Barzillai says to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king? Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward? Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.” The king answers, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.” All the people go over the Jordan, and the king goes over. Then the king kisses Barzillai and blesses him; and he returns to his own place. At 19:31 the Korean Revised Version has Barzillai come 함께 요단에, to the Jordan with the king, and at 19:32 it reads 거부, a very rich man, where WEB reads “a very great man”.
