John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 30:24

Part alike — A prudent and equitable constitution, and therefore practiced by the Romans, as Polybius and others note. The reason of it is manifest; because they were exposed to hazards, as well as their brethren: and were a reserve to whom they might retreat in case of a defeat; and they were now in actual service, and in the station in which their general had placed them.

Cross-Reference Topical ResearchStrong's Concordance
but as his part:
This equitable edict was somewhat different from that which had so long obtained in Israel, and by which the spoil of the Midianites was divided. That related to the whole people: this only to the soldiers, some of whom went to battle, while others guarded the baggage.
Numbers 31:27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
Joshua 22:8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
Psalms 68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

tarrieth:

1 Samuel 25:13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
