1 Samuel 30

Returning to Tsiqlaq, David finds it burned by 'Amaleqim who have taken captives including his two wives; pursuing them with 400 men after 'enquiring of YHWH, David recovers all plunder, people, and livestock without loss[2]. Despite objections from wicked men, David justly distributes the spoil equally among all, including the 200 exhausted men left behind, establishing the principle 'This is David's plunder'[2].
