“He’s Our King…”

Blessings folk!

The restoration of David’s kingdom continue.

Note what happens next…

2 Sa 19:40-43

Now the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him;
and all the people of Judah and also half the people of Israel accompanied the king.

And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king,
“Why had our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away,
and brought the king and his household and all David’s men with him over the Jordan?”

Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel,
“Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter?
Have we eaten at all at the king’s expense, or has anything been taken for us?”

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.

The men of Israel were jealous.
They thought the men of Judah had stolen David away from them.

The men of Judah responded…”the king is a close relative to us.”
“Why are you angry…?”
They declared that they had not been a burden to the king.

The men of Israel came back with “we have ten parts…”
The men of Israel consisted of ten tribes.
The men of Judah two.

The men of Israel were offended and felt they were being treated with contempt.

Both groups wanted David as king.

What to do?
