Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁבָה (shavah), meaning "to take captive" or "to capture."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of שְׁבִי (shebi) in the Septuagint and the New Testament is often associated with the term G161 (αἰχμαλωσία, aichmalosia), which also denotes captivity or the state of being taken captive. This Greek term is used in passages such as Ephesians 4:8, which speaks of Christ leading captivity captive, symbolizing His victory over sin and death: "This is why it says: 'When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.'"

Usage: The word שְׁבִי (shebi) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible to describe the condition of being taken captive, the act of capturing, or the goods and people taken as spoils of war. It is often associated with the consequences of military defeat or divine judgment.

Context: The term שְׁבִי (shebi) appears in several passages throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, illustrating the historical and theological significance of captivity and exile in the biblical narrative. For instance, in the context of Israel's history, captivity often serves as a consequence of disobedience to God's commandments, leading to periods of exile as seen in the Babylonian captivity. The concept of שְׁבִי (shebi) is not only a physical state but also carries a spiritual dimension, symbolizing separation from God's presence and the loss of divine favor.

In passages such as Isaiah 14:2, the term is used to describe the reversal of fortunes where captives will take their captors captive, highlighting a future hope of restoration and divine justice: "The nations will escort them and bring them to their own place. And the house of Israel will possess them as male and female servants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors."

The concept of שְׁבִי (shebi) also extends to the idea of spoils or booty, as seen in Numbers 31:12, where the Israelites bring back captives and spoils from their victory over the Midianites: "They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the congregation of the Israelites at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho."
