1 Samuel 30:24-26

New International Reader's Version

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.

²⁶ David reached Ziklag. He sent some of the goods to the elders of Judah. They were his friends. He said, “Here’s a gift for you. It’s part of the things we took from the Lord’s enemies.”
