C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch on 1 Samuel 30:23-24

1Sa 30:23-24

David opposed this selfish and envious proposal, saying, “Do not so, my brethren, with that (את, the sign of the accusative, not the preposition; see Ewald, §329, a.: lit. with regard to that) which Jehovah hath done to us, and He hath guarded us (since He hath guarded us), and given this troop which came upon us into our hand. And who will hearken to you in this matter? But (כּי, according to the negation involved in the question) as the portion of him that went into the battle, so be the portion of him that stayed by the things; they shall share together.” הורד is a copyist’s error for היּרד.
