Exodus 12:35-36
35The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had aasked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing. 36 bAnd the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that cthey let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.1 Samuel 30:19-20
19Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. dDavid brought back all. 20David also captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove the livestock before him, ▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew clause is uncertain
and said, “This is David’s spoil.” 2 Kings 7:9-16
9Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come; let us go and tell the king’s household.” 10So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city and told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one to be seen or heard there, nothing but the horses tied and the donkeys tied and the tents as they were.” 11Then the gatekeepers called out, and it was told within the king’s household. 12And the king rose in the night and said to his servants, “I will tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the open country, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive and get into the city.’” 13And one of his servants said, “Let some men take five of the remaining horses, seeing that those who are left here will fare like the whole multitude of Israel who have already perished. Let us send and see.” 14So they took two horsemen, and the king sent them after the army of the Syrians, saying, “Go and see.” 15So they went after them as far as the Jordan, and behold, all the way was littered with garments and equipment that the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.16Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, faccording to the word of the Lord.
