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.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 30 of 1 Samuel. Some of David’s men propose denying the spoil to those who remained with the baggage, but David establishes that the share of those who guarded the supplies will be equal to that of those who fought. The decision creates a principle of communal distribution recognizing different functions within the army. David’s leadership is characterized here by protecting the group and preventing victory from producing internal division between combatants and those providing logistical support.

Und da David zu den zweihundert Männern kam, die zu müde gewesen, David nachzufolgen, und am Bach Besor geblieben waren, gingen sie heraus, David entgegen und dem Volk, das mit ihm war. Und David trat zum Volk und grüßte sie freundlich.
Y vino David a los doscientos hombres que habían quedado cansados y no habían podido seguir a David, a los cuales habían hecho quedar en el torrente de Besor; y ellos salieron a recibir a David, y al pueblo que con él estaba. Y como David llegó a la gente, saludoles con paz.
David llegó a donde estaban los doscientos hombres que habían quedado demasiado agotados para seguirlo y a quienes habían dejado junto al torrente de Besor. Ellos salieron al encuentro de David y de los hombres que lo acompañaban. David se acercó y los saludó.
David arriva auprès des deux cents hommes qui avaient été trop fatigués pour le suivre, et qu'on avait laissés au torrent de Besor. Ils s'avancèrent à la rencontre de David et du peuple qui était avec lui. David s'approcha d'eux, et leur demanda comment ils se trouvaient.
Poi Davide venne a que’ dugent’uomini, ch’erano stati tanto stanchi, che non erano potuti andar dietro a lui; onde egli li avea fatti rimanere al torrente di Besor; ed essi uscirono incontro a Davide, e incontro alla gente che era con lui. E Davide, accostatosi a quella gente, li salutò.
E, chegando Davi aos duzentos homens que, de cansados que estavam, não puderam seguir a Davi, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes saíram ao encontro de Davi e do povo que com ele vinha; e, chegando-se Davi com o povo, os saudou em paz.
