But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, "We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more {claim} on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Was it not our advice first to bring back our king? Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel."
