Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 30:21-31
21And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them. 22Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart. 23Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand. 24And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall share alike. 25And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, unto this day. 26And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD; 27To them which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in Ramoth of the South, and to them which were in Jattir; 28and to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa; 29and to them which were in Racal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites; 30and to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Cor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach; 31and to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
