“to serve”
In context — 2 Samuel 19:35
I am a son of eighty years this day; can I discern between what is pleasing and what is not? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I still hear the voice of male and female singers? And why should your servant remain a burden to my lord the king?
