2 Samuel 19:36

WEB

Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?

KJV

Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?

Commentary

Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king,.... That is, go a l ittle way after he was over Jordan with him, and then return to his own city: and why should the king recompense it with such a reward? the sense is, why should the king recompense so trifling a thing as I have done, and which was but my duty, with such a reward, as to maintain me in so grand a manner at his court?
