← 1 Samuel 30:20	1 Samuel 30:21 (KJV)	1 Samuel 30:22 →
And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.	And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.	Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
