1 Samuel 30:21-31

21And DavidH1732 cameH935 to the two hundredH3967 menH376 who had been too exhaustedH6296 to follow DavidH1732, and whom they had left behind at the torrent BesorH1308; and they wentH3318 forthH3318 to meetH7122 DavidH1732, and to meetH7122 the peopleH5971 that were with him; and DavidH1732 drewH5066 near to the peopleH5971 and saluted them. 22And all the wickedH7451 menH376, and [menH376] of Belial, of those that had goneH1980 with DavidH1732, answered and saidH559, Because they wentH1980 not with us, we will not giveH5414 them [aught] of the spoilH7998 that we have recovered, save to every manH376 his wifeH802 and his children, that they may lead [them] away and depart. 23Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Ye shall not do soH3651, my brethren, with that which Jehovah has givenH5414 us, who has preservedH8104 us, and givenH5414 the troopH1416 that cameH935 against us into our handH3027. 24And who will hearken to you in this matterH1697? For as his shareH2506 is that goesH3381 downH3381 to the battleH4421, so shall his shareH2506 be that abides by the baggage: they shall shareH2506 alikeH3162. 25And it wasH1961 [so] from that dayH3117 forward; and he madeH7760 it a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 for IsraelH3478 to this dayH3117. 26And DavidH1732 cameH935 to ZiklagH6860, and he sentH7971 of the spoilH7998 to the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063, to his friendsH7453, sayingH559, Behold a present for you of the spoilH7998 of the enemiesH341 of Jehovah: 27to those in Bethel, and to those in south RamothH7418, and to those in JattirH3492, 28and to those in AroerH6177, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in EshtemoaH851, 29and to those in Rachal, and to those in the citiesH5892 of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the citiesH5892 of the Kenites, 30and to those in HormahH2767, and to those in Chor-ashan, and to those in Athach, 31and to those in HebronH2275, and to all the placesH4725 whereH834 DavidH1732 himself and his menH376 wentH1980 about.
