Exegesis
The relative particle asher {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʾă-šer} introduces a modifier clause describing the metals and items as spoils: nasa {נָשָׂ֖א | nā-śāʾ} ‘he carried off’ with the source phrase mikkol-haggoyim {מִכָּל־הַגּוֹיִ֑ם | mik-kāl-hag-gō-yîm} ‘from all the nations’. The closing sequence is a rhythmic list of origins, expressed through repeated prepositional phrases (me-/mi-), moving from larger group (“the nations”) to named peoples (Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistines, Amalek), underscoring the breadth of David’s conquests and the comprehensive dedication of the gains to YHWH.
