Barzillai answered: Your Majesty, why should I go to Jerusalem? I don't have much longer to live.
What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears.

Will we humans live again? I would gladly suffer and wait for my time.
David said to him, “Cross the river and go to Jerusalem with me. I will take care of you.”
