2 Samuel19:42

42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us : wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the kings cost? or hath he given us any gifts ?

Of the same Tribe with us, and therefore both oweth the more respect to us, and might expect and challenge more respect from us.

We have neither sought nor gained any advantage to our selves hereby, but onely 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; See ver. 40.
