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.

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, We have ten [tribes'] shares in the king; and we have more right to David than you have. Why then did you despise and ignore us? Were we not the first to speak of our bringing back our king? But the words of the men of Judah were more violent than the charges of the men of Israel.

American Standard Version (1901)

And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

Common English Bible

But the Israelites answered the people of Judah, “We have ten shares in the monarchy! What’s more, we are the oldest offspring, not you! So why have you disrespected us? Weren’t we the first to talk about bringing back our king?” But the words of the people of Judah were even harsher than the words of the Israelites.

Catholic Public Domain Version

And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: "I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?" But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou; and David belongeth to me more than to thee. Why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel.
