Verse 14 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.
