The spoils won in battles did they dedicate<\/B><\/I>] It seems these were intended for its repairs<\/I>. This custom prevailed amongst almost all the people of the earth. All who acknowledged any supreme Being, believed that victory could only come through him; and therefore thought it quite rational to give him a share of the spoils. Proofs of this exist in all ancient histories: thus Virgil<\/I>: – <\/P> Irruimus ferro, et divos, ipsumque vocamus<\/I><\/P> In partem praedamque Jovem.<\/I><\/P> AEN. iii., ver. 222.<\/P> <\/P> “With weapons we the welcome prey invade:<\/P> Then call the gods for partners of our feast,<\/P> And Jove himself, the chief invited guest.”<\/P> DRYDEN.<\/P> On this passage Servius<\/I> observes: Ipsum vocamus. Ipsum regem<\/I> deorum, cui<\/I> de praeda debetur aliquid: nam Romanis moris fuit, ut<\/I> bella gessuri de<\/I> parte praedae aliquid numinibus pollicerentur:<\/I> adeo ut Romae fuerit unum templum<\/I> JOVIS PRAEDATORIS: non quod<\/I> praedae praeest, sed quod<\/I> ei ex praeda aliquid debeatur. “Jupiter himself, the king of the gods, to whom a portion<\/I> of the prey<\/I> was due: for it was a custom among the Romans, when entering on a war, to promise some part of the prey<\/I> to their deities<\/I>. And there was a temple at Rome dedicated to JUPITER PRAEDATOR, not because he presided<\/I> over the prey<\/I>, but because a part<\/I> of the prey<\/I> was due<\/I> to him.”<\/P> <\/p>\n Heb. to strengthen it<\/I>; either to make that building strong and substantial by these and other charges; or rather, to repair it when it should be built; for which they might the rather take particular care, because it was likely that every one would contribute to the building of the temple, and there would be no want for that use; but few would provide for the repairs of it, when by the injury of men or time it should receive any damage. <\/P> <\/p>\n Out of the spoils won in battle did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord.<\/strong> When it should be built; for as yet it was not; both to repair it when necessary, and to provide sacrifices for it; or to confirm, strengthen, and animate the heart of the king to build it, so some, and put it into the power of his hands to do it; so the Romans dedicated the best of their spoil, and laid it up in the temple of Jupiter Feretrius, after the example of Romulus, their first king f; yea, sometimes out of the spoil they erected temples, as Tarquinius Superbus g did; or repaired and ornamented them, as the temple at Delphos, and others h.<\/p>\n f Vid.

Even the gold of the heathen may enrich the coffers of the Son of God. What is true of mere property that can be arithmetically estimated is true of institutions, energies, methods, and policies, which can be baptised and sanctified for Christ’s use. We should study the ways of successful enemies, and turn those ways to Christian uses. Never be afraid to learn even from the enemy; his shrewdness may suggest new methods to us; we should ask why he is successful, on what basis he has proceeded, by what consideration he has been influenced, and taking out of all his policy everything that is narrow and selfish we should use the framework for higher purposes. When Saul of Tarsus is converted his energy will be dedicated to the house of the Lord; when the eloquent disbeliever is brought to pray he will not leave his eloquence behind him; when the man gifted with song turns his heart to the Christ of God, he will not become silent, but he will bring his music with him, changing only the words, the sentiment, and the purpose, his voice being as eloquent and as fascinating as ever, yea more so, being inspired by a godly enthusiasm. When the author is converted who has never written concerning God he will bring his inkhorn with him and begin to expatiate on higher themes. What we have learned from Cicero we may consecrate to Christ. What we have been taught in battle we may dedicate to the interests of peace. What we have heard in the counsels of friendship we may employ in the propagation of the kingdom of Christ. Blessed be God, within the boundaries of that kingdom there is room for every talent, and there is scope for every way of doing things. The children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. Let us learn all we can from them, and grow in wisdom and in ability to fulfil our destiny.<\/p>\n dedicate = set apart. <\/p>\n Out: Jos 6:19 <\/p>\n spoils won in battles: Heb. battles and spoils <\/p>\n to maintain: 2Ki 12:14, Neh 10:32-34 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 31:28 – levy 2Ki 11:10 – king David’s spears 1Ch 18:11 – dedicated 2Ch 15:11 – offered<\/p>\n 1Ch 26:27.
