משנה: עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה שֶׁהִנִּיחוּהָ עוֹבְדֶיהָ בִּשְׁעַת שָׁלוֹם מוּתֶּרֶת. בִּשְׁעַת מִלְחָמָה אֲסוּרָה. בִּימוֹסְיָאוֹת שֶׁל מְלָכִים הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מוּתָּרִין מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמַּעֲמִידִין אוֹתָן בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהַמְּלָכִים עוֹבְרִין:
MISHNAH: An idol which was abandoned by its worshippers in times of peace is permitted, in times of war is forbidden97aSince there is no indication that the idol was permanently abandoned.. Pedestals of kings are permitted since they put them up when the kings pass by98This is a temporary situation; as soon as the Emperor has departed, the pedestal has lost its mission; cf. Note 83..

הלכה: עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה שֶׁהִנִּיחוּהָ עוֹבְדֶיהָ כול׳. תַּנֵּי. מִלְחֶמֶת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֲסוּרָה. בְּמִלְחֶמֶת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ מוּתֶּרֶת. מִלְחֶמֶת דָּוִד מוּתֶּרֶת. בְּמִלְחֶמֶת דָּוִד אֲסוּרָה. מִלְחֶמֶת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֲסוּרָה. דִּכְתִיב כִּי הַחֲרֵם תַּחֲרִימֵם. בְּמִלְחֶמֶת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ מוּתֶּרֶת. שֶׁהִיא לְשָׁעָה. מִלְחֶמֶת דָּוִד מוּתֶּרֶת. מַה שֶׁהָיָה אִיתַיי הַגִּיתִּי מְבַטֵּל. בְּמִלְחֶמֶת דָּוִד אֲסוּרָה. שֶׁהִיא לְעוֹלָם.
HALAKHAH: “An idol which was abandoned by its worshippers,” etc. It was stated: The war of Joshua is forbidden, similar to the war of Joshua is permitted. The war of David is permitted, like the war of David is forbidden. The war of Joshua is forbidden, as it is written99Deut. 20:17. This verse is quoted as justification of the first statement, that idols captured in the wars of Joshua were forbidden., for certainly you should ban them. Similar to the war of Joshua is permitted, for it is a short time100Idols conquered in a war of limited duration are temporarily forbidden until it is ascertained after the war that no worshippers returned, as in the war of Joshua where in theory all Canaanites were killed (Deut. 20:16).. The war of David is permitted, what Itai from Gat annulled101Since David had Gentile mercenaries in his army, they immediately could annul all idols and articles of pagan worship which then became of use (Chapter 3:3 Note 108).. Like the war of David is forbidden, for it is permanent102If a war is not ended with a peace but with an indefinite truce, the preceding arguments are not applicable..
