1 Samuel 30:21-25
21When DavidH1732 cameH935 toH413 the two hundredH3967 menH582 whoH834 had been too exhaustedH6296 to followH1980 himH1732 and who were left behindH3427 at the BrookH5158 of BesorH1308, they came outH3318 to meetH7122 himH1732 and the troopsH5971 with himH854. As DavidH1732 approachedH5066 the menH5971, he greeted themH7592H7965, 22butH6030 allH3605 the wickedH7451 and worthlessH1100 menH376 among thoseH582 whoH834 had goneH1980 withH5973 DavidH1732 saidH559, “BecauseH3282 they did notH3808 goH1980 with usH5973, we will notH3808 share with themH5414 the plunderH7998 we recoveredH5337, exceptH3588H518 for eachH376 man’s wifeH802 and childrenH1121. They may take themH5090 and goH1980.”
23But DavidH1732 saidH559, “My brothersH251, you must notH3808 doH6213 thisH3651 with whatH834 the LORDH3068 has givenH5414 us. He has protectedH8104 usH853 and deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 the raidersH1416 who cameH935 against usH5921. 24WhoH4310 will listenH8085 to your proposalH1697H2088H3588? The shareH2506 of the one who wentH3381 to battleH4421 will match the shareH2506 of the one who stayedH3427 withH5921 the suppliesH3627. They will shareH2505 alikeH3162.”
25And so it has beenH1961 from thatH1931 dayH3117 forwardH4605. David established thisH7760 statuteH2706 and ordinanceH4941 for IsraelH3478 toH5704 this veryH2088 dayH3117.
