2 Samuel 19:40-43
Holman Christian Standard Bible
40 The king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. All the troops of Judah and half of Israel’s escorted the king. 41 Suddenly, all the men of Israel came to the king. They asked him, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and transport the king and his household across the Jordan, along with all of David’s men?”
42 All the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel, “Because the king is our relative. Why does this make you angry? Have we ever eaten anything of the king’s or been honored at all?”[a]
43 The men of Israel answered the men of Judah: “We have 10 shares in the king,(A) so we have a greater claim to David than you. Why then do you despise us? Weren’t we the first to speak of restoring our king?”(B) But the words of the men of Judah were harsher than those of the men of Israel.

Lexham English Bible
40 The king went over to Gilgal, and Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah went over with the king, and half of the people of Israel too. 41 Suddenly, all the men of Israel were coming to the king. They said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen away and brought the king and his household over the Jordan, with all the men of David?” 42 Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is my close relative! Why are you this angry over this matter? Have we by any means eaten anything from the king? Did we take by any means anything that was not ours?”[a] 43 Then the people of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, “I have ten times as much[b] in the king, moreover in David I have more than you. Why did you treat me with contempt by not giving me first chance[c] to bring back my king?” But the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the word of the men of Israel.
