2 Samuel 19:40-43
40Then the kingH4428 crossed overH5674 to GilgalH1537, and ChimhamH3643 crossed overH5674 with himH5973. AllH3605 the troopsH5971 of JudahH3063H5674 andH1571 halfH2677 the troopsH5971 of IsraelH3478 escorted the kingH4428.
41SoonH2009 allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 toH413 the kingH4428 and askedH559H413H4428, “WhyH4069 did our brothersH251, the menH376 of JudahH3063, take you away secretlyH1589 and bring the kingH4428 and his householdH1004 acrossH5674 the JordanH3383, together withH5973 allH3605 of David’sH1732 menH376?”
42And allH3605 the menH376 of JudahH3063 repliedH6030 toH5921 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, “We did this becauseH3588 the kingH4428 is ourH413 relativeH7138. WhyH4100 does thisH2088 angerH2734 youH5921H1697H2088? Have we ever eatenH398 atH4480 the king’sH4428 expense orH518H5375 received anythingH5375 for ourselves?”
43“We have tenH6235 sharesH3027 in the kingH4428,” answeredH6030 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, “so we have more claimH1571H589 to DavidH1732 than youH4480. WhyH4069 then do you despise usH7043? Were we notH3808H1961 the firstH7223 to speakH1697 of restoringH7725 our kingH4428?”
But the menH376 of JudahH3063 spoke more fiercelyH7185H1697 than the menH376 of IsraelH3478.
