Joel 3:5
my silver . . . my gold—that is, the gold and silver of My people. The Philistines and Arabians had carried off all the treasures of King Jehoram's house (II Chronicles 21:16-17). Compare also I Kings 15:18; II Kings 12:18; II Kings 14:14, for the spoiling of the treasures of the temple and the king's palace in Judah by Syria. It was customary among the heathen to hang up in the idol temples some of the spoils of war as presents to their gods.
