Some “worthless men” (v. 22) who were with David after winning the battle against Amalek did not want those who stayed behind (because that was their job) to receive equal shares of the plunder they recovered in the battle. David reminded them that the victory was actually won by Jehovah, and that all would share equally! This then became a perpetual law in Israel (vv. 23-35). It was simple; it was fair; so they just did it.
