Then all the wicked and worthless men of those who went with David answered and said,“ Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except for every man’s wife and children, that they may lead them away and depart.”But David said,“ My brethren, you shall not do so with what the Lord has given us, who has preserved us and delivered into our hand the troop that came against us.For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike.”

“ But now they mock at me, men younger than I, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.Indeed, what profit is the strength of their hands to me? Their vigor has perished.They are gaunt from want and famine, Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,Who pluck mallow by the bushes, And broom tree roots for their food.They were driven out from among men, They shouted at them as at a thief.They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, In caves of the earth and the rocks.Among the bushes they brayed, Under the nettles they nestled.They were sons of fools, Yes, sons of vile men; They were scourged from the land.“ And now I am their taunting song; Yes, I am their byword.They abhor me, they keep far from me; They do not hesitate to spit in my face.
