Berean Strong's Lexicon shibanah: Captivity, Exile Original Word: שִׁבָּנָה Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: shibanah Pronunciation: shi-BAH-nah Phonetic Spelling: (shib-aw-naw') Definition: Captivity, Exile Meaning: seven Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁבָה (shavah), meaning "to take captive" or "to lead away." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for captivity is αἰχμαλωσία (aichmalosia), Strong's Greek #161. Usage: The term "shibanah" refers to the state of being taken captive or living in exile. It is often used in the context of the Israelites' experiences of being conquered and exiled by foreign powers, such as the Babylonian captivity. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, captivity and exile were common consequences of military defeat. For the Israelites, exile was not only a physical displacement but also a spiritual and cultural crisis. It was seen as a punishment for their disobedience to God, yet it also became a period of reflection, repentance, and eventual restoration. The Babylonian exile, in particular, was a pivotal event in Jewish history, leading to significant theological developments and the strengthening of Jewish identity.
