Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
Plunder seized by violence, as the spoils of an
army
or of bandits
(
1 Sam. 30:19-22
19
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
20
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22
Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart. (1 Samuel 30:19‑22)
); but in
Ex. 3:22
22
But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians. (Exodus 3:22)
, the sense is that of recovery without violence of unjustly taken property.
David
instituted very strict regulations for the division of spoils of war among his soldiers (
1 Sam. 30:20-25
20

21
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22
Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
23
Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
24
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
25
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. (1 Samuel 30:20‑25)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary

Officer
of
Artaxerxes
in
Palestine
at the
time
of the return of
Zerubbabel
. He wrote against the rebuilding of the city, which resulted in the building of the
temple
being stopped by the king (
Ezra 4:7
7
And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue. (Ezra 4:7)
). It will be seen that in the margin instead of Bishlam is read “in
peace
,” and this is the reading in the LXX, Arabic, and
Syriac
