Comentario sobre II Samuel 19:44

We have ten parts of the king. Because we are altogether ten tribes.

And also more right in Dovid. Although he is a closer relative of yours nevertheless we have more ownership of him then you do because we have ten parts [of him].

Why have you made light of me? That you should be first, was I not the first to request to have my king return? Prior to this our request came to him to have him return as it is written earlier,⁹ "while the messages of all Yisroel are coming to the king."

The words of men of Yehudah overpowered. Language similar to "Improve".¹⁰Tsaphania 2:1. The words of the men of Yehudah were more logical and they prevailed because they showed [as evidence] the letter Dovid had sent them [saying] "Why should you be the last to request" that the king return etc." This is what is explained in Agadah. Some explain וַיִקֶשׁ to denote hard and strong and that is Yonoson's translation, "overpowered."
