The foundations of a sacred treasury had therefore been laid as far back as the time of Samuel, when the Israelites began to recover from their last servitude.

some of the plunder from their battles
on 1 Chronicles 26:27-28
The dedicated treasury is filled with “some of the plunder from their battles”. Verse 28 names the givers: Samuel the seer, Saul, Abner and Joab, the last judge, the first king, his general and David's own commander. Everything they set apart stood “under the care of Shelomith and his brothers”.

Shelomith's care reached back to gifts from Samuel the seer. Saul, Abner and Joab added their own, and Matthew Henry says men of war must honor God with their spoils. Albert Barnes dates this sacred treasury to Samuel's time, after an earlier one under Joshua in Joshua 6:24 ran out.

Men of war must honour God with their spoils.
And all that Samuel the seer,....
