22: Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
23: Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

ephod- a linen apron worn in ancient Hebrew rites; especially : a vestment for the high priest

Ephod had been mentioned in the Books of Samuel. (1 Samuel 14:3 and 1 Samuel 21:8-9 and 1 Samuel 22:18 and 1 Samuel 30:7 and 2 Samuel 6:14) This was also worn by David when he danced before the Ark of the Covenant. The ephod is worn during the worship of an object. This is based on ancient Israelite culture. The word ephod is also in Exodus 28, 29:5, 39:2, and Leviticus 8:7, as well as Judges 17 and 18.
