2 Samuel 19:42-43
1599 Geneva Bible
42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: and wherefore now be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten of the king’s cost, or have we taken any bribes?
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and have also more right to David than ye: Why then did ye despise us [a]that our advise should not be first had in restoring our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
