1 Samuel 30:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ David replied, “No, my friends. You must not hold back their share of what the Lord has given us. He has kept us safe. He has handed over to us the men who attacked us. ²⁴ So no one will pay any attention to what you are saying. Each man who stayed with the supplies will receive the same share as each man who went down to the battle. Everyone’s share will be the same.” ²⁵ David made that a law and a rule for Israel. It has been followed from that day until now.
