BOOTY

boot'-i (baz and baz): "Booty" is the translation of baz or baz, usually rendered "prey" and "spoil" (Jeremiah 49:32); of malqoach, "prey," "booty" (Numbers 31:32, "the booty-the rest of the prey," the Revised Version (British and American) "the prey, over and above the booty," baz); of meshiccah, "spoil" (Habakkuk 2:7 Zephaniah 1:13; the Revised Version (British and American) "spoil"); of opheleia, "gain" (2 Maccabees 8:20). "Booty respects what is of personal service to the captor; spoils whatever serves to designate his triumph; prey includes whatever gratifies the appetite and is to be consumed" (Crabb, English Synonymes). Persons (for slaves, etc.) might be part of the booty. See also SPOIL.

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Booty

consisted of captives of both sexes, cattle, and whatever a captured city might contain, especially metallic treasures. Within the limits of Canaan no captives were to be made, (20:14,16) beyond these limits, in case of warlike resistance, all the women and children were to be made captives, and the men put to death. The law of booty is given in (Numbers 31:26-47) As regarded the army, David added a regulation that the baggage guard should share equally with the troops engaged. (1 Samuel 30:24; 25)

ATS Bible Dictionary
Booty

Spoils taken in war were to be shared equally by those who fought and those who guarded the camp, Numbers 31:27-32. The Lord's portion was first deducted from the whole; and in after-times the king appropriated a large part to himself.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Captives or cattle or objects of value taken in war. In Canaan all that breathed were to be destroyed (Deuteronomy 20: 16). The "pictures and images" of the Canaanites were to be destroyed also (Numbers 33:52). The law of booty as to its division is laid down in Numbers 31:26-47. David afterwards introduced a regulation that the baggage-guard should share the booty equally with the soldiers engaged in battle. He also devoted of the spoils of war for the temple (1 Samuel 30:24-26; 2 Samuel 8:11; 1 Chronicles 26:27).
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
(n.) That which is seized by violence or obtained by robbery, especially collective spoil taken in war; plunder; pillage.
