|
22. Then answered H6030 all H3605 the wicked H7451 men H376 and men of Belial H1100 , of those H4480 H376 that H834 went H1980 with H5973 David H1732 , and said H559 , Because H3282 H834 they went H1980 not H3808 with H5973 us , we will not H3808 give H5414 them aught of the spoil H4480 H7998 that H834 we have recovered H5337 , save H3588 H518 to every man H376 H853 his wife H802 and his children H1121 , that they may lead them away H5090 , and depart H1980 .
|
|
23. 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.

23. Then said H559 David H1732 , Ye shall not H3808 do H6213 so H3651 , my brethren H251 , with H854 that which H834 the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 us , who hath preserved H8104 us , and delivered H5414 H853 the company H1416 that came H935 against H5921 us into our hand H3027 .
|
|
24. 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.
|
24. For who H4310 will hearken H8085 unto you in this H2088 matter H1697 ? but H3588 as his part H2506 is that goeth down H3381 to the battle H4421 , so shall his part H2506 be that tarrieth H3427 by H5921 the stuff H3627 : they shall part H2505 alike H3162 .
