“Two hundred of them were too exhausted to cross the valley ...” (30:10). The Amalekites had kidnapped David’s family and others and burned their homebase in Ziklag. David and his men – distressed, and some bitter –  set out in pursuit (v6). However, two hundred lacked strength to go on and stayed with the supplies. When victory was accomplished, “troublemakers” wanted to exclude these exhausted men, but David declared: “The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle” (v24). 

“All share alike” (v24). When our physical or emotional energies are depleted, we still have a role in God’s kingdom. God has not forgotten us, and we will share His victory.
