26 Now when David came to Ziklag , he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah , to his friends , saying , "Behold , a gift for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord : 27 to those who were in Bethel , and to those who were in Ramoth of the Negev , and to those who were in Jattir , 28 and to those who were in Aroer , and to those who were in Siphmoth , and to those who were in Eshtemoa , 29 and to those who were in Racal , and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites , and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites , 30 and to those who were in Hormah , and to those who were in Bor-ashan , and to those who were in Athach , 31 and to those who were in Hebron , and to all the places where e David himself and his men were accustomed to go ."

Commentary on 1 Samuel 30:21-31
(Read 1 Samuel 30:21-31)
What God gives us, he designs we should do good with. In distributing the spoil, David was just and kind. Those are men of Belial indeed, who delight in putting hardships upon their brethren, and care not who is starved, so that they may be fed to the full. David was generous and kind to all his friends. Those who consider the Lord as the Giver of their abundance, will dispose of it with fairness and liberality.
