Booty
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Captives or cattle or objects of value taken in war. In Canaan all that breathed were to be destroyed (Deut 20: 16). The “pictures and images” of the Canaanites were to be destroyed also (Num 33:52). The law of booty as to its division is laid down in Num 31:26-47. David afterwards introduced a regulation that the baggage-guard should share the booty equally with the soldiers engaged in battle. He also devoted of the spoils of war for the temple (1 Sam 30:24-26; 2 Sam 8:11; 1 Chr 26:27).
