Why was Israel upset with Judah?

Because the whole tribe of Judah brought David back over the Jordan, while only half the tribe of Israel got to be a part of his escort, even though there were ten tribes of Israel and only two tribes of Judah. This was an early indication of the strife between Israel and Judah that would eventually result in a split.
