Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they took all the spoil,.... In their cities and castles; and all the prey, both of men and of beasts; all sorts of cattle, oxen, sheep, and asses.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “prey” refers to the captives and live-stock: the “spoil” to the ornaments and other effects.
