Gill's Notes on the Bible
And divide the prey into two parts,.... Into two equal parts, both the number of the people and of the cattle, when taken:
between them that took the war upon them, and went out to battle; the soldiers; and by this it appears that they went voluntarily and cheerfully:
and between all the congregation; so that the part of them that went to battle, and of those that stayed in the camp, were alike, and which in process of time became a statute and ordinance, 1 Samuel 30:24.
