Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Samuel 19:41

"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 brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David`s men with him?" — 2 Samuel 19:41 (ASV)

It seems that David and his whole party made a halt at Gilgal (2 Samuel 19:15; 1 Samuel 11:14), and possibly made some solemn agreement there about the kingdom. But while they were there, “all the men of Israel,” who were representatives from the tribes not included in the “half the people of Israel” (2 Samuel 19:40), came up in great wrath. They were angry to find that the restoration had been accomplished without consulting them, and they accused the men of Judah of unfair dealing.
