2 Samuel 19:41-43 - An Argument Over The King

⁴¹ All the people of Israel came to the king. They asked: Why did our brothers, the people of Judah, kidnap you and bring you and your family across the Jordan River?

⁴² All the people of Judah answered the people of Israel: Because the king is our relative. Why are you angry about this? Did we eat the king's food, or did he give us any gifts?

⁴³ The Israelites replied: We have ten times as many claims on King David as you have! We know he is one of you. Why do you look down on us? Do not forget that we were the first to talk about bringing the king back! The men of Judah were more violent in making their claims than the men of Israel.
