Dear Karl,
Thank you for your reply. If I am not mistaken, the root of the word "eth"
here
is not related to the meaning "with" but to the particle used in front of
the object.

Alfred:

No grammatical reason.

I think it has more to do with taking from what the people
had with them
with the emphasis on with them than any grammatical
question.
