19:40 Yehudah and Israel disagree

40 Then the king crossed over to Gilgal, and Kimham crossed over with him. All the people of Yehudah brought the king over and also about half of the people of Israel. 41 Then, wow, all the men of Israel went to the king and demanded, “Why did our relatives from Yehudah secret you away without inviting us? They took you and your household over the Yordan, and all your men as well.”

42 All the men of Yehudah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is from our tribe—our close relative. Why should that make you all angry? Do you all think that the king has rewarded us with fancy food or other privileges?”

43 The men of Israel answered the men of Yehudah, “Our ten tribes give us ten shares in the king—more than you. So why do you look down on us? Weren’t we the first to talk about bringing our king back to Yerushalem?”

But what the men of Yehudah said was harsher than what the ten other tribes said.
