1 Samuel 30:22

Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.

Then answered {H6030} all the wicked {H7451} men {H376} and men of Belial {H1100}, of those {H582} that went {H1980} with David {H1732}, and said {H559}, Because they went {H1980} not with us, we will not give {H5414} them ought of the spoil {H7998} that we have recovered {H5337}, save to every man {H376} his wife {H802} and his children {H1121}, that they may lead them away {H5090}, and depart {H3212}.

But some of the men who had gone with David were evil men, scoundrels; and they said, "They didn't go with us, so we're not giving them any of the property we've recovered. Each man can take his wife and children and leave."

but all the wicked and worthless men among those who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered, except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.”

Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart.
