Allora tutti i malvagi e gli spregevoli fra gli uomini che erano andati con Davide presero a dire: "Poich costoro non sono venuti con noi, non daremo loro nulla del bottino che abbiamo ricuperato, eccetto la moglie e i figli di ciascuno; li conducano via e se ne vadano!".
Allora tutti i tristi e i perversi fra gli uomini che erano andati con Davide, presero a dire: "Giacché costoro non son venuti con noi, non darem loro nulla del bottino che abbiamo ricuperato; tranne a ciascun di loro la sua moglie e i suoi figliuoli; se li menino via, e se ne vadano!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then answered all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David,.... Who were ill natured men, and of covetous dispositions, as what is called their answer shows; and it seems by that as if the two hundred men had moved that they might have their share in the spoil, or that David had given some intimation that they should:
and said, because they went not with us, we will not give, them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered: which was very unreasonable not to let them have what was before their own which was recovered; and indeed it was but right they should have their share in the spoil that was taken which was of others, as will appear hereafter: but they were of opinion and were come to a resolution, they should have no more,
save to every man his wife and his children; which was very unkind and ungenerous:
that they may lead [them] away, and depart; but whither? Ziklag was burnt, the land of Israel they would not return unto, where they must fall a sacrifice to Saul; these men cared not where they went, so that they were rid of them, that they might not have any share with them in the spoil.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 30:22. Men of Belial — This is a common expression to denote the sour, the rugged, the severe, the idle, and the profane.
