It denotes the act of seizing or taking spoils from a defeated enemy. In the Old Testament, "shalal" is often used to describe the wealth, livestock, and goods captured during military conquests. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the practice of taking plunder was a common aspect of warfare. Victorious armies would claim the possessions of the defeated as a reward for their efforts. This practice was not only a means of wealth acquisition but also a demonstration of power and dominance. The distribution of plunder was often regulated by leaders, and it could serve as a means of providing for the needs of the community or rewarding soldiers. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
