1 Kings 12:16
See the marginal reference. The words breathe unmistakeably the spirit of tribal jealousy and dislike (I Kings 11:40 note).
Now see to thine own house, David - i. e., "Henceforth, house of David, look after thine own tribe, Judah, only." It is not a threat of war, but a warning against interference.
