40.王過去，到了吉甲，金罕也跟他過去。猶大眾民和以色列民的一半也都送王過去。
When the king crossed over to Gilgal, Kimham crossed with him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel had taken the king over.
41.以色列眾人來見王，對他說：「我們弟兄猶大人為甚麼暗暗送王和王的家眷，並跟隨王的人過約但河？」
Soon all the men of Israel were coming to the king and saying to him, 「Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, steal the king away and bring him and his household across the Jordan, together with all his men?」
42.猶大眾人回答以色列人說：「因為王與我們是親屬，你們為何因這事發怒呢？我們吃了王的甚麼呢？王賞賜了我們甚麼呢？」
All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, 「We did this because the king is closely related to us. Why are you angry about it? Have we eaten any of the king’s provisions? Have we taken anything for ourselves?」
43.以色列人回答猶大人說：「按支派，我們與王有十分的情分；在大衛身上，我們也比你們更有情分。你們為何藐視我們，請王回來不先與我們商量呢？」但猶大人的話比以色列人的話更硬。
Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, 「We have ten shares in the king; so we have a greater claim on David than you have. Why then do you treat us with contempt? Weren’t we the first to speak of bringing back our king?」 But the men of Judah pressed their claims even more forcefully than the men of Israel.
