Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "sholal" is σκῦλον (skulon), which also means spoil or booty.

Usage: The term "sholal" refers to goods or valuables taken by force, typically in the context of war or conflict. It denotes the act of seizing or capturing possessions from defeated enemies. In the biblical narrative, "sholal" often highlights the material gains obtained through military victory or conquest.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, warfare was a common means of expanding territory and influence. Victorious armies would often take "sholal" as a reward for their efforts, which could include livestock, precious metals, clothing, and other valuable items. This practice was not only a means of wealth accumulation but also a demonstration of power and divine favor. The concept of "sholal" is deeply embedded in the historical context of tribal and national conflicts, where the spoils of war were a tangible sign of success and divine blessing.
