It conveys the action of taking goods by force, often in the context of warfare or conflict. This term is used to describe the act of stripping an enemy of their possessions, typically after a victory in battle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, plundering was a common practice following military victories. It was a means of acquiring wealth and resources, as well as a demonstration of dominance over defeated foes. The spoils of war often included livestock, valuables, and captives. This practice was not only a means of economic gain but also served as a symbolic act of triumph and subjugation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to spoil, plunder<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>plunder (2), plundered (4).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שָׁסַס</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> id.
