"and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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, Sa1 30:24 .
