Verse 11 is found in chapter 8 of 2 Samuel. Toi king of Hamath recognizes David’s victories and sends gifts. David dedicates to the Lord the silver, gold, and objects obtained from the nations. This practice is significant because it prevents military prosperity from being presented merely as the monarch’s private wealth. The text once again places God as the ultimate recipient of the resources and honor resulting from victory.

welche der König David auch dem HERR heiligte samt dem Silber und Gold, das er heiligte von allen Heiden, die er unter sich gebracht;
Los cuales el rey David dedicó a Jehová, con la plata y el oro que tenía dedicado de todas las naciones que había sometido:
El rey David también los consagró a Jehová, junto con la plata y el oro que había consagrado de todas las naciones que había sometido:
Le roi David les consacra à l'Eternel, comme il avait déjà consacré l'argent et l'or pris sur toutes les nations qu'il avait vaincues,
E il re Davide consacrò eziandio quelli al Signore, insieme con l’argento, e con l’oro, che egli avea consacrato della preda di tutte le nazioni ch’egli avea soggiogate;
Os quais também o rei Davi consagrou ao SENHOR, juntamente com a prata e ouro que já havia consagrado de todas as nações que sujeitara.
