2 SAMUEL 19:38 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.”
So all the people crossed over the Jordan, and the king crossed over — and the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own place — David kisses Barzillai and blesses him before they part. The embrace and blessing honor the old man's loyalty and sacrifice. Barzillai's return to Rogelim marks a graceful exit from the narrative—he has served David in exile, supported his return, and now retires to his home, his honor intact.
