Do not lack courage. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble [in terror] before them, 4for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.' 5"The officers shall also speak to the soldiers, saying, 'What man is there who has built a new house and has not yet dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would dedicate it. 6'What man has planted a vineyard and has not put it to use [harvesting its fruit]?

Let him go and return to his house, so that he does not cause his brothers' courage to fail like his own.' 9"And it shall be when the officers have finished speaking to the soldiers, they shall appoint commanders of armies over them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it?.... Which he has a right to do, and it is hard for him to be deprived of it, 1 Corinthians 9:7 or "hath not made it common" k; according to the law in Leviticus 19:23. Three years the fruit of trees, and so of vines, might not be eaten; in the fourth, they were devoted to the Lord, and might be redeemed from the priest, and so made common; and on the fifth year were eaten in course; so the Targums of Jerusalem, Jonathan, and Jarchi, interpret it: "let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it"; or make it common, according to the above law: Aben Ezra seems to have another sense of this passage, deriving the word from another, which signifies piping and dancing, and observes, that it was a custom to sing, pipe, and dance in vineyards; and the Septuagint version is, "hath not been made merry of it"; though that may signify not having drank of the wine of it, to be made merry with it.
k לא חללו "necdum fecit eam esse communem", V. L. "et non fecit eam communem", Vatablus, Fagius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the margin and references. The fruit of newly-planted trees was set apart from common uses for four years.
