Verse 11 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Samuel. The tribes of Israel begin discussing David’s return, remembering his former victories and the fact that he had delivered them from their enemies. David takes the initiative to regain Judah’s support and sends a message to the priests and elders. The king’s restoration does not happen automatically: it requires reconciling different groups after the civil war. The episode anticipates new tensions between Judah and the northern tribes.

Y el rey David envió a Sadoc y a Abiathar sacerdotes, diciendo: Hablad a los ancianos de Judá y decidles: ¿Por qué seréis vosotros los postreros en volver el rey a su casa, ya que la palabra de todo Israel ha venido al rey de volverle a su casa?
El rey David envió a decir a los sacerdotes Sadoc y Abiatar: «Hablen con los ancianos de Judá y díganles: “¿Por qué han de ser los últimos en hacer volver al rey a su casa, cuando las palabras de todo Israel han llegado hasta el rey, a su casa?
De son côté, le roi David envoya dire aux sacrificateurs Tsadok et Abiathar: Parlez aux anciens de Juda, et dites-leur: Pourquoi seriez-vous les derniers à ramener le roi dans sa maison? -Car ce qui se disait dans tout Israël était parvenu jusqu'au roi.
E il re Davide mandò a dire a’ sacerdoti Sadoc ed Ebiatar: Parlate agli Anziani di Giuda, dicendo: Perchè sareste voi gli ultimi a ricondurre il re in casa sua? or i ragionamenti di tutto Israele erano pervenuti al re in casa sua.
Então o rei Davi mandou dizer a Zadoque e a Abiatar, sacerdotes: Falai aos anciãos de Judá, dizendo: Por que seríeis vós os últimos em tornar a trazer o rei para a sua casa? Porque as palavras de todo o Israel chegaram ao rei, até à sua casa.
