Daniel 1:2. He brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
It is customary in every heathen temple to have a particular place for storing the sacred jewels and other valuables which are supposed to be the special property of the idol there worshiped. Nebuchadnezzar having brought from Jerusalem, as trophies of war, the sacred vessels of the temple, placed them in the temple of Belus at Babylon side by side with the costly ornaments and utensils which were appropriated to idolatrous worship.
There were also in the temple at Jerusalem rooms specially set apart for the reception of tithes, and for the storing of valuable articles belonging to the sacred edifice. See 1 Chronicles 9:26; 2 Chronicles 31:11; Nehemiah 10:38.
