* Let thy.
   The whole of this little episode is extremely interesting, and
   contains an affecting description of the infirmities of old
   age.  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.

 * I may die.
