1 Samuel 30:23 meaning and explanation
But David said, “My brothers, you must not do this with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiders who came against us.
1 Samuel 30:23, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
David is speaking to the four hundred fighting men who want to deny a share of the plunder to the two hundred who stayed behind, too exhausted to cross the Brook of Besor. David refuses the proposal on theological grounds: the victory and the plunder are what the LORD has given, and the LORD is the one who protected them and delivered the raiders into their hands.
