David defeats those that took their families and their things. Upon their return, he helps those that went with him understand that those that stayed behind were just as helpful in what had happened as those that went with David. He says that they still deserve some of the spoils as well. Saul dies by what sounds like suicide and out of fear of dying and being tortured.
The proverbs as you read them are very different. I think the first few chapters we read seemed to have a theme, but the last few feel like they are just insights. I didn't see any that stood out at this time. It could mean that I don't really need these at this time.

It's interesting that after all the killing and plundering that David has done, he goes to retrieve all that was taken from him. I do like your statement about how he helps them understand that everyone helped in that situation even if they didn't go to fight, that all jobs are important. Saul does appear to die by suicide out of fear of being abused by his enemies.
The verse that stood out to me today is 27, Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge. This seems to be saying keep your focus on God's instruction.
