ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૯:૩૭
કૃપા કરી તારા ચાકરને પાછો ઘરે જવા દે, કે હું મારા નગરમાં મારા પિતા અને માતાની પાસે મરણ પામું. પણ જો, આ તારો દાસ કિમ્હામ અહીં મારી પાસે છે. તે ભલે નદી ઊતરીને આવે અને જેમ મારા માલિક રાજાને ઠીક લાગે તેમ તેની સાથે કરજે.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १९:३७
अपने दास को लौटने दे, कि मैं अपने ही नगर में अपने माता पिता के कब्रिस्तान के पास मरूँ। परन्तु तेरा दास किम्हाम उपस्थित है; मेरे प्रभु राजा के संग वह पार जाए; और जैसा तुझे भाए वैसा ही उससे व्यवहार करना।”

In context

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?

36Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?

37Please 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.”

38The king answered, “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.”

39All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
