The term "spoilest" is an archaic form of the verb "spoil," which appears in various contexts throughout the Bible, primarily in the Old Testament. It is often used to describe the act of plundering or taking goods by force, typically in the context of warfare or divine judgment. The concept of spoiling is significant in biblical narratives, as it often reflects the consequences of disobedience to God or the fulfillment of divine promises.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term "spoil" is used to convey the idea of taking plunder or goods from defeated enemies. This is seen in passages where God commands the Israelites to take spoil from their enemies as a form of divine retribution or reward. For example, in the conquest of Canaan, the Israelites are instructed to take spoil from the cities they conquer, as seen in Joshua 8:2: "And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city."

The act of spoiling is also depicted as a consequence of disobedience to God. In the prophetic books, the Israelites are warned that their enemies will spoil them if they turn away from God's commandments. This is evident in passages like Jeremiah 30:16, where God declares, "But all who devour you will be devoured; all your adversaries—every one of them—will go off into exile. Those who plunder you will be plundered; all who spoil you I will despoil."

Furthermore, the concept of spoiling is not limited to physical plunder but can also refer to spiritual or moral corruption. In the New Testament, the idea of being "spoiled" is used metaphorically to describe the danger of being led astray by false teachings or worldly philosophies. Colossians 2:8 warns, "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, rather than according to Christ."

The theme of spoiling in the Bible underscores the importance of faithfulness to God and the consequences of turning away from His commandments. It serves as a reminder of God's justice and the fulfillment of His promises, both in blessing and in judgment.
