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.

Verse 22 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.

Da antworteten, was böse und lose Leute waren unter denen, die mit David gezogen waren, und sprachen: Weil sie nicht mit uns gezogen sind, soll man ihnen nichts geben von der Beute, die wir errettet haben; sondern ein jeglicher führe sein Weib und seine Kinder und gehe hin.
Entonces todos los malos y perversos de entre los que habían ido con David, respondieron y dijeron: Pues que no fueron con nosotros, no les daremos de la presa que hemos quitado, sino a cada uno su mujer y sus hijos; los cuales tomen y se vayan.
Pero todos los hombres malos y perversos que habían ido con David dijeron: «Como no fueron con nosotros, no les daremos nada del botín que hemos recuperado. Que cada uno tome solo a su esposa y a sus hijos, y se vaya».
Tous les hommes méchants et vils parmi les gens qui étaient allés avec David prirent la parole et dirent: Puisqu'ils ne sont pas venus avec nous, nous ne leur donnerons rien du butin que nous avons sauvé, sinon à chacun sa femme et ses enfants; qu'ils les emmènent, et s'en aillent.
Ma tutti gli uomini malvagi e scellerati, d’infra coloro ch’erano andati con Davide, si mossero a dire: Poichè essi non son venuti con noi, noi non daremo loro nulla della preda che abbiamo riscossa, se non a ciascuno la sua moglie, e i suoi figliuoli; e se li menino via, e vadano.
Então todos os maus e perversos, dentre os homens que tinham ido com Davi, responderam, e disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos do despojo que libertamos; mas que leve cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, e se vá.
跟隨 大衛 去的人中,每一個惡人和無賴都說:「這些人既然沒有和我同去,我們所奪的財物就不分給他們,只把他們各人的妻子兒女給他們,讓他們帶回去就好了。」
