Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:43

Theological / Devotional

Were fiercer. In the angry altercation that arose between the tribes, the men of Judah were more vehement than their neighbors to the north. The dispute was happily arrested after a time, but the fact of its occurrence did not augur well for the future. Sectional jealousies and rivalries were constantly sowing the seeds of disaster.
