This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_19:35 I [am] this day fourscore years old: [and] can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
Ver. 35. Can I discern between good and evil?] Am I fit for courtly pleasures? It is past time of day with me for such matters. See Ecc_12:2-4. {See Trapp on "Ecc_12:2"} {See Trapp on "Ecc_12:3"} {See Trapp on "Ecc_12:4"}
Can I hear any more the voice?] David was a musical man, and had variety of signing and music at his meals. So had Muleasses, king of Tunis, who, that he might with more pleasure hear them, used to cover his eyes all the while.
