09:030:022 Then 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 ought of the spoil that we have
recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that
they may lead them away, and depart.
09:030:023 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that
which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and
delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
09:030:024 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part
is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that
tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
09:030:025 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
09:030:026 And 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;
09:030:027 To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south
Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
09:030:028 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in
Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
09:030:029 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
09:030:030 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in
Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,
09:030:031 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where
David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
