The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:25-26
The idols of the Canaanites they were utterly to destroy by fire, not saving even the silver or gold with which the images were overlaid, lest, if that were coveted and retained, it might bring them under the ban which fell on all things connected with idolatry; as happened in the case of Achan ( Joshua 7:1-26 .). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:25-26
The cursed thing. The Israelites were not to desire the silver and gold on the graven images. They were not to take it. They were not to bring it into God's house. They were to detest and abhor it, to count it an abomination, a cursed thing, and to beware lest, by lusting after it, they became accursed like unto it. We are taught a lesson— I. OF DISINTERESTEDNESS IN GOD 'S SERVICE . No motive of gain was to be allowed to mingle with their work. Their service was to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:26
Cursed thing ; a thing devoted ( הֵרֶם ), either, as in this case, to destruction (comp. also 1 Kings 20:42 ; Zechariah 14:11 ; Malachi 3:1-18 :24; [ Malachi 4:6 ]) or, as elsewhere, to God (Le Deuteronomy 27:21 ; Numbers 18:14 ). HOMILETICS read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 7:25
The silver or gold that is on them - The silver and gold with which the statues of the gods were overlaid. Paul is probably alluding to this command in Romans 2:22; and his accusation of the Jew thus shows that the prohibition of the text was very necessary.Lest thou be snared - As by the rich ephod made by Gideon: compare the marginal reference. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:1-26
The promised land (7:1-8:20)Israel’s responsibility was to destroy the people of Canaan along with everything connected with their religion, so that nothing would remain in the land that might corrupt God’s people (7:1-5). Israel’s favoured place as God’s chosen people was not an excuse for them to do as they liked, but a reason for them to avoid corruption and be holy. If they were disobedient, they would surely be punished (6-11). But if they were obedient, they would enjoy the blessings of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:17-26

The Israelites are to win the country little by little, and remove the people gradually. In this patient work they may expect the co-operation of God. I.
