Strong's Lexicon shebo: Captivity Original Word: שְׁבוֹ Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁבָה (shavah), meaning "to take captive" or "to lead away." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for captivity is αἰχμαλωσία (aichmalosia), Strong's Greek #161. Usage: The term "shebo" refers to the state of being taken captive or the condition of captivity. It is often used in the context of war, where individuals or groups are forcibly taken from their homeland and held in a foreign land. The word conveys a sense of loss, displacement, and subjugation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, captivity was a significant theme, especially during periods of conquest and exile. The Babylonian Exile is one of the most notable instances of captivity in the Hebrew Bible, where the Israelites were taken to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. Captivity was seen as both a physical and spiritual condition, often interpreted as a consequence of the nation's disobedience to God.
