KJV - 1 Kings 12:16

So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

When all of Israel saw that the king didn't listen to them, the people asked the king, "What do we have in David? We don't have a share in Jesse's son. Go back to your own group, Israel. Now take care of your own family, David." So, Israel went back to their tents.
