2 Samuel 19:40-43
New American Standard Bible
40 Now the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah and also (A)half the people of Israel [a]accompanied the king. 41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, “(B)Why have our brothers, (C)the men of Judah, abducted you and brought the king and his household and all David’s men with him, over the Jordan?” 42 Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because (D)the king is a close relative to [b]us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all [c]at the king’s expense, or has anything been taken for us?” 43 But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, “[d](E)We have ten parts in the king, therefore [e]we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat [f]us with contempt? Was it not [g]our [h]advice first to bring back [i]our king?” Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

2 Samuel 19:40-43
International Standard Version
40 As the king crossed over the Jordan River[a] to Gilgal, Chimham accompanied him, as did all the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel.
Petty Quarrels Arise between Israel and Judah
41 Not long afterward, all the men of Israel started coming to the king, complaining to him,[b] “Why did our relatives in Judah’s army sneak you away, taking the king and his household over the Jordan River,[c] along with David’s army?”
42 Everybody from Judah shouted to the men from Israel, “We did this because the king is closely related to us. So why are you angry about this? Have we lived off[d] the king’s expense? Have we appropriated anything for ourselves?”
43 But the men from Israel answered the men from Judah: “We[e] represent ten of the tribes[f] of Israel! So we[g] have more right to David than you[h] do! Why haven’t you[i] taken us[j] seriously? Weren’t we[k] the first to talk about bringing back our[l] king?” But what the people of Judah had to say was harsher than what the people of Israel were saying.
