The venerable and kind Barzillai was fourscore years old; his ear was become dull of hearing, and his relish for even royal dainties was gone: the evil days had arrived in which he was constrained to say, "I have no pleasure in them." (Ec 12:1.) As he was too old either to enjoy the pleasures of a court, or to be of any further service to the king, he finishes his affecting address to the aged monarch with the request, that he would suffer him to enjoy what old men naturally desire, to "die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and mother;" at the same time commending his son Chimham to his kind offices.

with a perfect heart.The meaning of this expression may be inferred from that of a double heart in ver. 33. If a double heart be expressive of insincerity or duplicity, a perfect heart, which seems to be put in opposition to it, must signify a sincere, faithful, and entire attachment. 1Ki 8:61; 11:4; 2Ki 20:3; Ps 101:2all the rest.17,18; Ge 49:8-10; 2Ch 30:12; Ps 110:3; Eze 11:19 eating and drinking.Ge 26:30; 31:54; 2Sa 6:19; 19:42 brought.The Septuagint reads [ ,] "brought (to) them" which is probably correct; the Hebrew {lahem,} "to them" might be easily mistaken for {lechem,} "bread." The passage will then read, "bought them on asses, on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, meat, meal, cakes of figs," etc., which renders the introduction of and unnecessary. From the mention of oil, figs, and raisins, Mr. Harmer thinks that this assembly was held in autumn. 2Sa 16:1; 17:27-29meat, meal. or, victual of meal. cakes of figs.1Sa 25:18there was joy.1Ki 1:40; 2Ki 11:20; Pr 11:10; 29:2; Jer 23:5,6; Lu 19:37,38Re 19:5-7 Matthew 26:49-50
