Context — David’s Kindness to Barzillai
31Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and send him on his way from there.
32Barzillai was quite old, eighty years of age, and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the king while he stayed in Mahanaim.
33The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.”
34But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king? 35I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?Cross References

2 Samuel 19:33 Summary
In this verse, King David is showing his appreciation for Barzillai's loyalty and support by inviting him to come to Jerusalem with him and promising to take care of him. This is an example of showing gratitude and hospitality to others, as seen in other parts of the Bible, such as Deuteronomy 16:17 and Hebrews 13:2. King David wants to repay Barzillai's kindness and make sure he is taken care of, just like Barzillai had taken care of him. This shows us the importance of valuing and caring for those who have supported us, and being grateful for their help and loyalty, as we see in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 where we are told to give thanks in all circumstances.

What can we learn from King David's offer to Barzillai about showing gratitude to others?
We can learn that showing gratitude to others is an important aspect of our relationships, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 where we are told to give thanks in all circumstances, and that it can be a way of building stronger bonds and demonstrating our appreciation for their support and loyalty.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 19:33
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man. No JFB commentary on these verses.

2 Samuel 19:33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.Ver. 33. I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.] God is not unrighteous to forget their labour of love who do minister to his saints, and feed his poor afflicted.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 19:33
