But David said, ‘My brothers, you must not do this with what the Lord has given us. He protected us and handed over to us the raiders who came against us.
The owner of the house went out and said to them, ‘Please don’t do this evil, my brothers. After all, this man has come into my house. Don’t commit this horrible outrage.
and David asked the Lord, ‘Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them? ’ The Lord replied to him, ‘Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them and rescue the people.’
but all the corrupt and worthless men among those who had gone with David argued, ‘Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give any of the plunder we recovered to them except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.’
Who can agree to your proposal? The share of the one who goes into battle is to be the same as the share of the one who remains with the supplies. They will share equally.’
