Booty:
captives or cattle or objects of value taken in war. In Canaan all that breathed were to be destroyed (Deu 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 (1Sa 30:24-26; 2Sa 8:11; 1Ch 26:27).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
