Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they left their images,.... Their idol gods, which they brought with them to protect and defend them, and give them success; perhaps in imitation of the Israelites, who formerly brought the ark of God into their camp against the Philistines, 1 Samuel 4:3; and it appears to have been the custom of other countries, in later times, to bring their gods with them to battle x:
and David and his men burnt them: that is, his men burnt them at his command, 1 Chronicles 14:12; agreeably to the law of God, that so no profit might be made of them, Deuteronomy 7:5; the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions, and others, render it, "and took them", or "carried them away" y; as they might do, and, after they had exposed them in triumph, then burnt them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And there they left their images - An indication of the precipitancy of their flight, and the suddenness with which the Israelites burst upon them like a âbreach of waters.â The King James Version rendering âBurned them,â does not give a translation (compare the margin), but a gloss, warranted by the explanation given in marginal references
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 5:21. They left their images — It was the custom of most nations to carry their gods with them to battle: in imitation of this custom the Israelites once took the ark and lost it in the field; see 1 Samuel 4:10-11.
