Chapter 19

KJV - 2 Samuel 19:35

I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?

Today, I am 80 years old. Can I tell the difference between good and bad? Can I taste my food or drink? Can I hear people singing? Why should I continue to be a burden to my king then?
