BrTrThy servant will go [fn]a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?


19:37 Gr. as it were a little.

ULTPlease, let your servant return, and let me die in my city with the grave of my father and my mother. And look, your servant Kimham—let him cross over with my lord the king. And do to him that which is good in your eyes.”

USTThen please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is my son Kimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you and serve you, and do for him whatever seems good to you!”

BSBPlease let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”


OEBOnly let your servant return, I pray you, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But there is your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and treat him as shall seem good to you.’

WEBBEPlease 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.”

WMBB (Same as above)

NETLet me return so that I may die in my own city 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.”

LSVPlease let your servant turn back again, and I die in my own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother—and behold, your servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do to him that which [is] good in your eyes.”

FBVThen let your servant go back home, that I may die in my home town near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant, my son[fn] Chimham. Let him cross over with Your Majesty, and treat him as you think best.”


19:37 The text does not explicitly say that Chimham is Barzillai's son, but some Septuagint manuscripts do so and it is a likely conclusion.

T4TThen please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is my son Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you and serve you, and do for him whatever seems good to you!”

LEBPlease let your servant return, and let me die in my city in the tomb of my father and my mother. Here is your servant Kimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him that which is good in your eyes.”

BBELet your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

19:31-40 Because he was very old and frail, Barzillai declined David’s invitation to the royal court in Jerusalem as reward for his assistance. David took Barzillai’s son Kimham instead (see also 1 Kgs 2:7).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

General Information:

Barzillai asks that Kimham be allowed to take his place instead with David.

(Occurrence 0) Kimham

(Some words not found in UHB: since,a_little cross_over servant,your DOM the,Jordan DOM the=king and=for=what? recompense,me the=king the,reward the,this )

This is the name of a man.

(Some words not found in UHB: since,a_little cross_over servant,your DOM the,Jordan DOM the=king and=for=what? recompense,me the=king the,reward the,this )

This does not mean that he wants to die right next to their graves, but rather, that he wants to die in the city where they are buried. This can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “where my father’s and my mother’s graves are” or “where my father and my mother are buried”
