'Captive' in the Bible

and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

Therefore it says,“When He ascended on high,He led captive a host of captives,And He gave gifts to men.”

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
