Chapter 19

KJV - 2 Samuel 19:43

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.

The men of Israel told the men of Judah, "We have equal share in the king and have more right to David. Why did you treat us badly so that we couldn't give our advice first to bring back our king?" The men of Judah spoke even harsher words than the men of Israel.
