1 Samuel 30:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ David said, ‘No, my brothers. You cannot do that. The Lord has given all these things to us. He has kept us safe. He has helped us to win against the enemies who attacked us. ²⁴ Nobody will agree with what you say. Each person will receive an equal part. The men who stayed here with our things and the men who went to fight will all receive the same amount.’

²⁵ David made this a rule for the Israelites, and they still obey it.
