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 you: why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

And a man of Israel answered a man of Judah, and he said, “Ten hands to me in the king, and also in David, I more than you. So why have you despised me? Was not my word first, to bring back my king to me?” But the word of a man of Judah was harsher than the word of a man of Israel.
