It denotes the goods, valuables, or possessions seized by the victors. In the context of the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the spiritual victory and the spoils of Christ's triumph over sin and death.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient warfare, it was customary for the victors to take the possessions of the defeated as spoils of war. This practice was not only a means of enriching the victors but also served as a symbol of their dominance and success. The concept of taking spoils was well understood in the Greco-Roman world and among the Israelites, as it was a common practice in the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/greek/4660.htm">skulló</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>arms stripped from a foe, i.e. spoils<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>plunder (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4661: σκῦλον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σκῦλον</span></span> (<span class="manuref">R<span class="lexsuper">bez</span></span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>) also <span class="greek2">σκῦλον</span> ((so <span class="manuref">R<span class="lexsuper">st</span></span> <span class="manuref"><span class="lexsuper">elz</span></span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span>) cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lipsius</span>, Gram.
