SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:22
Entonces todos los malos y los hijos de Belial de entre los que habían ido con David, respondieron y dijeron: Pues que no fueron éstos con nosotros, no les daremos de la presa que hemos quitado, sino a cada uno su mujer y sus hijos; los cuales tomen y se vayan.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 30:22
Verse 22. Men of Belial] This is a common expression to denote the sour, the rugged, the severe, the idle, and the profane.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. Then answered all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David , etc.] Who were ill natured men, and of covetous dispositions, as what is called their answer shows; and it seems by that as if the two hundred men had moved that they might have their share in the spoil, or that David had given some intimation that they should: and said, because they went not with us, we will not give, them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered : which was very unreasonable not to let them have what was before their own which was recovered; and indeed it was but right they should have their share in the spoil that was taken which was of others, as will appear hereafter: but they were of opinion and were come to a resolution, they should have no more, save to every man his wife and his children ; which was very unkind and ungenerous: that they may lead [them] away, and depart ; but whither? Ziklag was burnt, the land of Israel they would not return unto, where they must fall a sacrifice to Saul; these men cared not where they went, so that they were rid of them, that they might not have any share with them in the spoil.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-31 - What God gives us, he designs we should do good with. In distributin the spoil, David was just and kind. Those are men of Belial indeed, wh 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 an kind to all his friends. Those who consider the Lord as the Giver of their abundance, will dispose of it with fairness and liberality __________________________________________________________________
