20 And David will take all the sheep and the oxen they drove before those cattle, and they will say, This David's spoil. 21 And David will come to the two hundred men which were faint from going after David, and they will cause them to dwell by the torrent of Bezor: and they will come forth to meet David and to meet the people which are with him: and David will draw near to the people and will ask to them of peace. 22 And every evil man will answer, and Belial, of the men who went with David, and they will say, Because they went not with me, we will not give to them of the spoil which we took away, except each his wife and his sons, and they shall lead and go. 23 And David will say, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with what Jehovah gave to us, and he will watch us and give the troop coming against us into our hand. 24 And who will hear to you for this word? for as the part of him going clown in the war, and so the part of him sitting by the vessels: together shall they divide. 25 And it will be from that day and over, and he will set it for a law and for a judgment to Israel even to this day. 26 And David will come to Ziklag, and he will send from the spoil to the old men of Judah, to his neighbors, saving, Behold, to you a blessing from the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah. 27 To those in Bethel, and to those in south Ramah, and to those in Jattir, 28 And to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa. 29 And to those in Rachel, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites, 30 And to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-Ashan, and to those in Athach, 31 And to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David went about there, he and his men. 1 Samuel 30:20-31, Smith's Literal Translation.
