It is used in the context of taking goods by force, often in the aftermath of a battle or conflict. This term conveys the act of seizing or stripping away possessions from others, typically in a violent or forceful manner.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, plundering was a common practice following military victories. Conquerors would take valuable goods, livestock, and sometimes people as spoils of war. This practice was not only a means of enriching the victors but also served as a demonstration of power and dominance. The concept of plundering is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, reflecting the turbulent and often violent history of the region.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
