"And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's."
— 1 Samuel 30:20, Bible in Basic English
“And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil. ”
And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.
And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.
There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back.
And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.
And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?
Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.
Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.
