Read this first: 1 Samuel 30:20-21
David's name is repeated throughout this tale because it was his faith in the Lord which saved the day; even his rebellious men (v6) know this and say the plunder is his. But he doesn't allow himself to be proud or bitter towards others, as seen in his warm greeting for those who did not fight. Be a peacemaker (Gal 5:22-23), not one who stirs up unnecessary, painful disunity.
Based on the sermon “A generous king”
