2 Samuel 19:42

“And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, etc.] Such of them as went down to fetch the king back, replied to the men of Israel that now met them, and objected to their conduct: because the king [is] near of kin to us; being of their tribe, and his palace was within their borders, and therefore they were proper persons to bring him home: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? for bringing the king back, and being the first in it; for who so proper as they, not only to do their duty, but to show their affection to the king as early as possible? have we eaten at all of the king’s [cost]? they had maintained themselves at their own expense, going and returning; they had no…”

“Of kin - Of the same tribe with us, and therefore both oweth the more respect to us, and might expect more respect from us. Gifts - We have neither sought nor gained any advantage to ourselves hereby, but only discharged our duty to the king, and used all expedition in bringing him back, which you also should have done, and not have come in by halves, and so coldly as you have done. 2 Kings (2 Samuel) 19:43”

“Because: Sa2 19:12, Sa2 5:1; Ch1 2:3-17 2 Kings (2 Samuel) 19:43”
