39 All the people now began to cross the Jordan, and the king himself crossed; but the king kissed+ Bar·zilʹlai and blessed+ him, after which he returned to his place.

66 On the eighth day he sent the people away;+ and they began to bless the king and to go to their homes,* rejoicing+ and feeling merry of heart+ over all the goodness+ that Jehovah had performed for David his servant and for Israel his people.
