  4. 35I 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?
  5. 36Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
