He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiders who came against us. 24 Who will listen to your proposal? The share of the one who went to battle will match the share of the one who stayed with the supplies. They will share alike.”

For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
