1 Samuel 30 ^{23 -25} "Families don't do this sort of thing! Oh no, my brothers!" said David as he broke up the argument. "You can't act this way with what God gave us! God kept us safe. He handed over the raiders who attacked us. Who would ever listen to this kind of talk? The share of the one who stays with the gear is the share of the one who fights—equal shares. Share and share alike!" From that day on, David made that the rule in Israel—and it still is.


I don't have a lot to day about this one, just I was really pretty surprised to see it in Samuel.  This is what a family is all about.  We are a family.  Tears are shared, joy is shared, burdens are carried, wealth is dispersed.  


Does that make me a communist or a liberal?  I don't think so.  I think it makes me a sister.
