2 Samuel 5:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 5:21

And they left their images
Their idol gods, which they brought with them to protect and defend them, and give them success; perhaps in imitation of the Israelites, who formerly brought the ark of God into their camp against the Philistines, ( 1 Samuel 4:3-6 ) ; and it appears to have been the custom of other countries, in later times, to bring their gods with them to battle F24:

and David and his men burnt them:
that is, his men burnt them at his command, ( 1 Chronicles 14:12 ) ; agreeably to the law of God, that so no profit might be made of them, ( Deuteronomy 7:5 ) ; the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions, and others, render it, "and took them", or "carried them away" F25; as they might do, and, after they had exposed them in triumph, then burnt them.

2 Samuel 5:21 In-Context

19 David consultó al SEÑOR, diciendo: ¿Subiré contra los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mi mano? Y el SEÑOR dijo a David: Sube, porque ciertamente entregaré a los filisteos en tu mano.
20 David fue a Baal-perazim, y allí los derrotó; y dijo: El SEÑOR ha abierto brecha entre mis enemigos delante de mí, como brecha de aguas. Por eso llamó a aquel lugar Baal-perazim .
21 Y ellos abandonaron allí sus ídolos, y David y sus hombres se los llevaron.
22 Después los filisteos subieron de nuevo, y se esparcieron por el valle de Refaim.
23 Cuando David consultó al SEÑOR, El dijo: No subas directamente; da un rodeo por detrás de ellos y sal a ellos frente a las balsameras.
