   When the soldier retired from the tumults of war to the bosom
   of his family, he frequently hung up his arms in the temple,
   as a grateful acknowledgment of the protection he had
   received, and of the victories he had won.  It is highly
   probable, therefore, that the arms of David which Jehoiada
   delivered to the captains of hundreds, "which were in the
   house of God," were laid up in the tabernacle by David when he
   resigned the command of his armies to his generals; and there
   is reason to believe that his conduct, in this respect, was
   followed by many of his companions in arms.
