2 Samuel 19:36-38

New English Translation

³⁶ I will cross the Jordan with the king and go a short distance.^[a] Why should the king reward me in this way? ³⁷ Let me^[b] return so that I may die in my own town near the grave of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever seems appropriate to you.”

³⁸ The king replied, “Kimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever I deem appropriate. And whatever you choose, I will do for you.”
