1 Samuel 30:23-25

Modern English Version

²³ Then David said, “You will not do so, my brothers, with what the Lord has given us, for He has preserved us, and has delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us. ²⁴ And who will listen to you in this matter? Indeed as the share is of the one going down to battle, so will be the share of the one staying with the equipment. They will share equally.” ²⁵ So it was so from that day forward, that he set it as a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
