1 Samuel 30:21-31

21When David reached the 200 men—who had been too exhausted to follow David and were left at Wadi Besor—they came out to meet David and to meet the men with him, so David approached these people and greeted them.

22But all the wicked men and worthless fellows among those who accompanied David said, “Because they did not accompany us, we shouldn’t give them any of the spoil that we’ve recovered, except every man may take his wife and his children and leave.”

23“You must not do so, my brothers with what Adonai has given us,” David said. “It is He who has protected us and gave into our hands the raiding band that attacked us.

24Who would listen to you in this matter? The share of him who went down to the battle is to be the same as that of him who remained by the baggage. They will share alike.”

25So it has been from that day forward—he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

26When David arrived at Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “Look, a blessing for you from the spoil of the enemies of Adonai,”

27to those in Beth-el, Ramoth-Negev, Jattir,

28Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,

29Racal, to those in the towns of Jerahmeelite, to those in the towns of the Kenites,

30Hormah, Bor-ashan, Athach,

31Hebron and to all the places where David and his men had roamed.
