Spoils
Spoil
Were the Israelites suppose to take spoils?
Generally it can appear that they were allowed to take spoils of their enemies in war. But in certain situations it was not always allowed.
Sometimes they were instructed to completely destroy a city and touch nothing that could be taken as a spoils
We see that in the destruction of Jericho and also the Amalekites, who were some of those who licked blood.
The Israelites were often acting as instrument of judgment and righteousness as in the case of the Amalekites (Exodus 17:14–16 or in Deuteronomy 25:17–19). Everything was to be "devoted to destruction" (1 Samuel 15:2–3); no spoils were to remain and nothing was to be taken.
1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. 2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
The phrase "and utterly destroy" is translated from וְהַֽחֲרַמְתֶּם֙ wəhaḥăramtem with the root word being חָרַם charam consisting of the letters ChetReishMem[1] which is first defined as to ban, devote or even split as in divide. Nowhere else do we find the word וְהַֽחֲרַמְתֶּם֙ wəhaḥăramtem (VavHeyChetReishMemTavMem).
There is a similar word ( הֶחֱרַמְתֶּ֖ם heḥĕramtem HeyChetReishMemTavMem) used in Joshua 2:10[2] by Rehab because of the deeds of Israel that drew her to respect, trust, and protect men of Israel.
When they took over Canaan, the Israelites were permitted to take spoils from the Canaanites. But the nature of the conflict in Canaan was much different. Understanding the Peaceful invasion of Canaan may be of value in reaching an understanding of spoils and the manner in which they came.
