1 Samuel 30:22

22 Então todos os malvados e perversos, dentre os homens que tinham ido com Davi, disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, nada lhes daremos do despojo que recobramos, senão a cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, para que os levem e se retirem.

1 Samuel 30:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 30:22

Then answered all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of
those that went with David
Who were ill natured men, and of covetous dispositions, as what is called their answer shows; and it seems by that as if the two hundred men had moved that they might have their share in the spoil, or that David had given some intimation that they should:

and said, because they went not with us, we will not give, them [ought]
of the spoil that we have recovered:
which was very unreasonable not to let them have what was before their own which was recovered; and indeed it was but right they should have their share in the spoil that was taken which was of others, as will appear hereafter: but they were of opinion and were come to a resolution, they should have no more,

save to every man his wife and his children;
which was very unkind and ungenerous:

that they may lead [them] away, and depart;
but whither? Ziklag was burnt, the land of Israel they would not return unto, where they must fall a sacrifice to Saul; these men cared not where they went, so that they were rid of them, that they might not have any share with them in the spoil.

1 Samuel 30:22 In-Context

20 Davi lhes tomou também todos os seus rebanhos e manadas; e o povo os levava adiante do outro gado, e dizia: Este é o despojo de Davi.

21 Quando Davi chegou aos duzentos homens que, de cansados que estavam, não tinham podido segui-los, e que foram obrigados a ficar ao pé do ribeiro de Besor, estes saíram ao encontro de Davi e do povo que com ele vinha; e Davi, aproximando-se deles, os saudou em paz.

22 Então todos os malvados e perversos, dentre os homens que tinham ido com Davi, disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, nada lhes daremos do despojo que recobramos, senão a cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, para que os levem e se retirem.

23 Mas Davi disse: Não fareis assim, irmãos meus, com o que nos deu o Senhor, que nos guardou e entregou nas nossas mãos a tropa que vinha contra nós.

24 E quem vos daria ouvidos nisso? pois qual é a parte dos que desceram � batalha, tal será também a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; receberão partes.
