33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
33 The king said to Barzillai, "Cross over with me and stay with me in Jerusalem, and I will provide for you."
33 And the king said to Barzillai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for you with me in Jerusalem."
33 "Join me in Jerusalem," the king said to Barzillai. "Let me take care of you."
33 And the king said to Barzillai, "Come across with me, and I will provide for you while you are with me in Jerusalem."
33 "Come across with me and live in Jerusalem," the king said to Barzillai. "I will take care of you there."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:33
Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:31-39
(Read 2 Samuel 19:31-39)
Barzillai thought he had done himself honour in doing the king any service. Thus, when the saints shall be called to inherit the kingdom, they will be amazed at the recompence being so very far beyond the service, Matthew 25:37. A good man would not go any where to be burdensome; or, will rather be so to his own house than to another's. It is good for all, but especially becomes old people, to think and speak much of dying. The grave is ready for me, let me go and get ready for it.
