Anything taken by a victorious soldier. In ancient warfare a soldier could take anything he could carry that had belonged to a foe. This plunder could be precious metals, clothes, cattle, or the vanquished people themselves. Holy war laws dedicated all such booty to God (Deuteronomy 20:1 ). The battles of Joshua illustrated this.
