Within Canaan no captives were to be made; all that breathed were to be destroyed (De 20:14,16); but outside, if resistance were offered, the women and children were to be made captives, the men slain. Pictures and images, as temptations to idolatry, were to be destroyed (Nu 33:52). In the ease of Amalek the very cattle Saul was commanded to destroy (1Sa 15:2-3). So also in the case of Arad (Nu 21:1-3) and Jericho, where everything was put under the cherem or curse and became the Lord's (Jos 6:19-21). Abraham devoted one tenth of the spoil of Sodom, rescued from Chedorlaomer, to Jehovah through Melchizedek the king-priest (Ge 14:19-24).
David "made a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day" that the part of the army which guarded the families and baggage should share equally in the spoil with the troops actually engaged. The occasion of its enactment was upon the capture of immense spoil from Amalek, a part of it recovered property of Ziklag (1Sa 30:25, etc.). He also sent presents of the spoil to those of the eiders of Judah who were his friends. Indeed by the law (Nu 31:26-47) booty was to be shared equally between the army engaged and Israel; only that of the former half only one 500th part was appropriated to the priests of God, of the latter one 50th to the Levites. The spoils dedicated by David and his chiefs to the temple were freewill offerings (2Sa 8:11; 1Ch 26:27).

BOOTY, spoils taken in war, Nu 31:27-32. According to the law of Moses, the booty was to be divided equally between those who were in the battle and those who were in the camp, whatever disparity there might be in the number of each party. The law farther required that, out of that part of the spoils which was assigned to the fighting men, the Lord's share should be separated; and for every five hundred men, oxen, asses, sheep, &c, they were to take one for the high priest, as being the Lord's first fruits. And out of the other moiety, belonging to the children of Israel, they were to give for every fifty men, oxen, asses, sheep, &c, one to the Levites.
