He protected us and handed over to us the raiders who came against us.Who can agree to your proposal? The share of the one who goes into battle is to be the same as the share of the one who remains with the supplies. They will share equally.”

He grabbed him, started choking him, and said,‘ Pay what you owe!’“ At this, his fellow slave fell down and began begging him,‘ Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’But he wasn’t willing. On the contrary, he went and threw him into prison until he could pay what was owed.When the other slaves saw what had taken place, they were deeply distressed and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.“ Then, after he had summoned him, his master said to him,‘ You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow slave, as I had mercy on you?’And his master got angry and handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he could pay everything that was owed.
