Deuteronomy 2:35 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:35

Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves
These they did not destroy, but preserved alive for their own use and profit, and took them as their own property:

and the spoil of the cities which we took;
as household goods, gold, silver, and whatever valuable was found by them; this they took as plunder, and shared it among themselves.

Deuteronomy 2:35 In-Context

33 God handed him, his sons, and his entire army over to us and we utterly crushed them.
34 While we were at it we captured all his towns and totally destroyed them, a holy destruction - men, women, and children. No survivors.
35 We took the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured and carried them off for ourselves.
36 From Aroer on the edge of the Brook Arnon and the town in the gorge, as far as Gilead, not a single town proved too much for us; God, our God, gave every last one of them to us.
37 The only land you didn't take, obeying God's command, was the land of the People of Ammon, the land along the Jabbok and around the cities in the hills.
