1 Samuel 30:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.

²⁴ And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.

²⁵ And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
