Strong's Lexicon shabah: To take captive, to capture Original Word: שָׁבָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G163: aichmalotizo (to capture, to take captive) - G2221: zogreo (to capture alive) Usage: The Hebrew verb "shabah" primarily means to take captive or to capture. It is used in the context of warfare and conflict, where individuals or groups are taken as prisoners. The term can also imply leading away or carrying off captives, often as a result of military conquest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, warfare was a common occurrence, and taking captives was a typical practice. Captives could be used as slaves, bargaining tools, or integrated into the captor's society. The concept of captivity also held significant theological implications for the Israelites, as it was often seen as a consequence of disobedience to God, leading to exile and oppression by foreign powers.
