This concludes David's distribution of spoils from his victory over the Amalekites who had raided Ziklag. David was strategically strengthening relationships with towns throughout Judah by sharing his wealth with places that had helped him during his years as a fugitive from King Saul. Hebron was particularly significant as it would later become David's first capital when he became king of Judah.
