Contention over the King
41 Therefore all the men of Israel concurring to the king, said to him: why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee, and brought the king and his household over Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
42 And every man of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? Have we eaten any thing of the king's, or were there gifts given us?
43 And a certain man of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I am greater by ten parts with the king, and to me pertaineth David more than to thee: Why hast thou done me wrong, and it was not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more sharply than the men of Israel.
