Adam Clarke Commentary
Only the silver, and the gold - they put into the treasury, etc. - The people were to have no share of the spoils, because they had no hand in the conquest. God alone overthrew the city; and into his treasury only the spoils were brought. This is one proof that the agitation of the air, by the sound of the people's voice, was not the cause of the fall of the city walls.
Vessels of brass and of iron - Instead of כלי keley, Vessels, the Septuagint, in the Alexandrian copy, evidently have read כל col, All, with the omission of the י yod ; for in Joshua 6:19; they translate πας χαλκος και σιδηρος, All the brass and iron: but this reading does not appear in any of Kennicott's or De Rossi's MSS.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible
‘And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it, only the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of YHWH.’
This was a purifying ritual, devoting all to YHWH. Even the latter were probably burned for purification before being put into the treasury (Numbers 31:22-23).
“The house of YHWH.” Compare Judges 19:18; Judges 20:18; Genesis 28:17; 1 Samuel 1:7; Exodus 23:19; Exodus 34:26. The ‘house of YHWH’ was the place where He was to be approached, in this case the Tabernacle. As Genesis 28:17 makes absolutely clear ‘house’ here does not necessarily signify a building.
