³³ David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be ^(A)a burden to me.

³⁵ I am this day ^(A)eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or what he drinks? Can I still listen to the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be ^(B)an added burden to my lord the king?
