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 verse belongs to the history of David's return to Jerusalem after Absalom's rebellion, connected with his victory over Absalom and coming after Absalom's death and David's lament over him. Israel and Judah are disputing their respective claims to David, with Israel asserting its ten parts in the king and its greater right in him as reason its counsel should have been heard first in bringing back the king, and the exchange between the two groups grows fierce. This dispute is part of the later troubles that arose in David's family and kingdom, especially rebellion and crimes within his family, presented as the retribution and judgments that came to pass following his wrong against Uriah.
It unfolded amid David's difficulties, the sad consequences of his many wives and the sons he could not control, and his troubles with Joab. The detailed faithfulness with which this history is told stamps the account with inspiration. It shows that God does not hide the sins of even the greatest kings, and the disputants display the same evil temper they are answering, illustrating that one must not answer a fool in a manner that makes one like him.
