And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.”

Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Aber die Männer von Israel antworteten den Männern von Juda und sprachen: Ich habe zehn Teile an dem König, und habe auch an David mehr Anrecht als du; und warum hast du mich gering geachtet? Und ist nicht mein Wort das erste gewesen, meinen König zurückzuführen? Und das Wort der Männer von Juda war härter als das Wort der Männer von Israel.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Entonces respondieron los varones de Israel, y dijeron á los de Judá: Nosotros tenemos en el rey diez partes, y en el mismo David más que vosotros: ¿por qué pues nos habéis tenido en poco? ¿no hablamos nosotros primero en volver á nuestro rey? Y el razonamiento de los varones de Judá fué más fuerte que el de los varones de Israel.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Então responderam os homens de Israel, e disseram aos de Judá: Nós temos no rei dez partes, e no mesmo Davi mais que vós: por que, pois, nos haveis tido em pouco? Não falamos nós primeiro em voltar a nosso rei? E o argumento dos homens de Judá prevaleceu ao dos homens de Israel.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Os homens de Israel responderam aos homens de Judá: "Temos dez tribos aparentadas com o rei; por isso, temos mais direitos a Davi que vós. Então, por que nos desprezastes? Não era nosso propósito primeiro trazer nosso rei para ser ouvido?". Mas as palavras dos homens de Judá foram ainda mais severas que as dos homens de Israel.
