Conclusion

Many members of the tribe of Benjamin hate David powerfully because Saul and his family came from Benjamin.

Benjamin's tribal emblem

was the wolf.

Judah's tribal emblem

was the lion.

The northern tribes, just like  Benjamin, have many members who don't like becoming one nation with Judah--and many in the tribe of Judah don't like the idea of sharing a country with the northern tribes, either.

David thinks that choosing the right city for the capital of the new, united, country could bring old enemies back to being friends again.
