except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled. 030:018 David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives. 030:019 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them: David brought back all. 030:020 David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] livestock, and said, This is David's spoil. 030:021 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him: and when David came near to the people, he greeted them. 030:022 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those who went with David, and said, Because they didn't go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart. 030:023 Then said David, You shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Yahweh has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand. 030:024 Who will listen to you in this matter? for as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who tarries by the baggage: they shall share alike. 030:025 It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day. 030:026 When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh: 030:027 To those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir, 030:028 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa, 030:029 and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites, 030:030 and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach, 030:031 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay. 031:001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa. 031:002 The Philistines followed hard on Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul. 031:003 The battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
