2 Samuel 19:39:

2 Samuel 19:39 And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.  Once more all the people crossed over the Jordan.  Once we cross over into heaven, we will never leave and have a need to return again.  David also sent Barzillai back to his own country with his thanks and blessing.  In this lifetime, we may need to send people who help us back to their own home with our thanks and blessings, hopefully as fellow believers.  Verse forty adds, Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel. When David went oh to Gilgal, all the people of Judah and half the people of Israel went with him.  As Christians, where Christ went, which is back to heaven, should be where we are all looking to go, and daily until then we should walkunder the guidanceof the Holy Spirit.  Verse forty-one continues,  And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David’s men with him, over Jordan?  The rest of the people of Israel came to David and asked why the people of Judah had stolen him away and brought him back over the Jordan.  Matthew Henry says the men of Israel had gone ahead to prepare for David’s return and only the men of Judah had escorted him back over the Jordan and they were angry about it, but we are told that half the men of Israel were with David when he crossed over the Jordan.  Either way, many of the people of Israel were upset.  We as followers of Christ should never be upset if someone else leads someone to Jesus Christ.  Also, not long before nearly all the people had been aligned with Absalom against David.  We have all been aligned against God until we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and Lord, so we should never feel more important than any other Christian.  Verse forty-two states, All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?  The men of Judah defended their actions,  The men of Judah said that David was their near kin, and asked why the people of Israel were angry, the implication being I believe that they had more right to escort David back.  We will never be any closer kin to Jesus Christ than any other Christian.  They also said that they had cost David nothing and he had given them no gifts.  We as Christians have cost Jesus Christ His death on the cross, and He has given us all the gift of everlasting life with Him.  He has also given us at least one spiritual gift and we need to discover and develop it without feeling superior to any other Christian.  Verse forty-three adds, And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.  The people of Israel claimed they had a much grater right to claim David and return him to his position as king.  What we need to realize is that no one has a greater right to claim Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord than anyone else, and we don't put Him on the throne, because He is already there.  All we can do is acknowledge Him as our King.  We are also told that the people of Judah were fiercer in their speech, which Matthew Henry says God does not like.  I don't believe that we should ever boast that we are somehow more deserving of God's mercy than anyone else, and we certainly shouldn't do it in a loud and boastful way
