30:23-25
David saw things differently. It was the Lord who had given them the plunder. Yes, they had fought, but it was the Lord who enabled them to do so, and it was the Lord who gave them victory. David insisted that everyone gets the same share. David even made this a lasting “statute and ordinance” for Israel. The two hundred had not just been left behind to recover, but also to look after the supplies. David had been allocating duties in an efficient manner.
30:26-30
On reaching Ziklag, David “sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah who were his friends”. David still had contacts in Judah, and was looking ahead to his return there. We then get a list of the places that David sent plunder to.
