SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:23
Y David dijo: No hagáis eso, hermanos míos, de lo que nos ha dado el SEŃOR; el cual nos ha guardado, y ha entregado en nuestras manos el ejército que vino sobre nosotros.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 30:23
Verse 23. That which the Lord hath given us] He very properly attributes this victory to God; the numbers of the Amalekites being so much greater than his own. Indeed, as many fled away on camels as were in the whole host of David.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. Then said David, ye shall not do so, my brethren , etc.] Though he saw through their wickedness, and disapproved of the bad sentiments they had embraced, yet he deals gently with them, calling them brethren, being of the same nation and religion, and his fellow soldiers; yet at the same time keeps up and maintains his dignity and authority as a general, and declares it should not be as they willed, and gives his reasons for it, that it was not fit they should do as they pleased: with that which the Lord hath given us ; what they had was given them, and therefore, as they had freely received, they should freely give; and what was given them, was not given to them only, but to the whole body, by the Lord: who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand ; it was not by their own power and might that they got the victory over the enemy, and the spoil into their hands, but it was through the Lord only; and therefore, as they should not assume the honour of the victory to themselves, so neither should they claim the spoil as wholly belonging to them.
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 __________________________________________________________________
