Verse 40 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Samuel. As David crosses into Judah, the tribes of Israel argue with Judah because they feel they have been slighted by not being sufficiently involved in the king’s return. The dispute reveals that the unity achieved under David remains fragile. The conflict does not arise from a doctrinal difference, but from issues of honor, participation, and recognition. The scene prepares Sheba’s rebellion and demonstrates that restoring the kingdom does not yet mean true national reconciliation.
