2 Samuel 19:43

The men of Israel replied to the men of Judah, “We have ten shares in the king, and we have a greater claim on David than you do! Why do you want ¹  to curse us? Weren’t we the first to suggest bringing back our king?” But the comments of the men of Judah were more severe than those of the men of Israel.

Jud 8:1; Jud 9:23; Jud 12:1-6; 2Sa 5:1; 2Sa 19:9,14; 2Sa 20:1,6; 1Ki 12:16; Pr 13:10; Pr 15:1; Pr 17:14; Pr 18:19; Ro 12:21; Ga 5:15,20; Ga 5:20,26; Php 2:3; Jas 1:20; Jas 3:2-10,14-16; Jas 4:1-5

¹ tn The translation understands the verb in a desiderative sense, indicating the desire but not necessarily the completed action of the party in question. It is possible, however, that the verb should be given the more common sense of accomplished action, in which case it means here “Why have you cursed us?”
