2 Samuel 19:39-41

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁹ So all the people went across the Jordan River with the king. The king kissed Barzillai and he asked God to bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.

⁴⁰ The king went across the river to Gilgal. Kimham went with him.^[a] All Judah's army and half of Israel's soldiers helped the king to cross the river.

The men from Israel are angry with the men from Judah

⁴¹ Then all the men of Israel's tribes came to the king. They complained, ‘Why did our brothers, the men of Judah's tribe, take you for themselves? Why were they the only people who could help the king to cross the Jordan River? They helped you and your family and your soldiers to cross, and we had no part in it.’
