Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Only the silver , and the gold - they put into the treasury , etc . - The people were to have no share of the spoils, because they had no hand in the conquest. God alone overthrew the city; and into his treasury only the spoils were brought. This is one proof that the agitation of the air, by the sound of the people' s voice, was not the cause of the fall of the city walls.
Vessels of brass and of iron - Instead of keley , Vessels, the Septuagint, in the Alexandrian copy, evidently have read col , All, with the omission of the yod ; for in Joshua 6:19 they translate , All the brass and iron: but this reading does not appear in any of Kennicott' s or De Rossi' s MSS.
