SCRIPTURE

"These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;" — 2 Samuel 8:11 (ASV)

Which also. —The dedication of the gifts of Toi is especially mentioned, because these were not, like those of 2 Samuel 8:7; 2 Samuel 8:11–12, the spoils of conquered nations. David, forbidden himself to build the temple, makes every provision possible for its construction.
