*
And ,
behold ,
all the men of Israel came to the king ,
and said unto the king ,
Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away ,
and have brought the king ,
and his household ,
and all David '
s men with him ,
over Jordan ?
*
And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel ,
Because the king is near of kin to us :
wherefore then be ye angry for this matter ?
have we eaten at all of the king '
s cost ?
or hath he given us any gift ?
*
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah ,
and said ,
We have ten parts in the king ,
and we have also more right in David than ye :
why then did ye despise us ,
that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king ?
And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel .
