1 Samuel 30:21-31

21And DavidH1732 cameH935 to the two hundredH3967 menH582, which were so faintH6296 that they could not followH310H3212 DavidH1732, whom they had made also to abideH3427 at the brookH5158 BesorH1308: and they went forthH3318 to meetH7125 DavidH1732, and to meetH7125 the peopleH5971 that were with him: and when DavidH1732 came nearH5066 to the peopleH5971, he salutedH7965H7592 them.1 22Then answeredH6030 all the wickedH7451 menH376 and men of BelialH1100, of thoseH582 that wentH1980 with DavidH1732, and saidH559, Because they wentH1980 not with us, we will not giveH5414 them ought of the spoilH7998 that we have recoveredH5337, save to every manH376 his wifeH802 and his childrenH1121, that they may lead them awayH5090, and departH3212.2 23Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Ye shall not do soH6213, my brethrenH251, with that which YhwhH3068 hath givenH5414 us, who hath preservedH8104 us, and deliveredH5414 the companyH1416 that cameH935 against us into our handH3027. 24For who will hearkenH8085 unto you in this matterH1697? but as his partH2506 is that goeth downH3381 to the battleH4421, so shall his partH2506 be that tarriethH3427 by the stuffH3627: they shall partH2505 alikeH3162. 25And it was so from that dayH3117 forwardH4605, that he madeH7760 it a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 for IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117.3

26And when DavidH1732 cameH935 to ZiklagH6860, he sentH7971 of the spoilH7998 unto the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063, even to his friendsH7453, sayingH559, Behold a presentH1293 for you of the spoilH7998 of the enemiesH341 of YhwhH3068;4 27To themH834 which were in Beth–elH1008, and to them which were in southH5045 RamothH7418, and to them which were in JattirH3492, 28And to them which were in AroerH6177, and to them which were in SiphmothH8224, and to them which were in EshtemoaH851, 29And to them which were in RachalH7403, and to them which were in the citiesH5892 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and to them which were in the citiesH5892 of the KenitesH7017, 30And to them which were in HormahH2767, and to them which were in Chor–ashanH3565, and to them which were in AthachH6269, 31And to them which were in HebronH2275, and to all the placesH4725 where DavidH1732 himself and his menH582 were wont to hauntH1980.
