In the other Testament 1 word
- αἰχμαλωσία aichmalōsía · G161 · captivity
- Greek αἰχμαλωσία corresponds to Hebrew שִׁבְיָה as the standard LXX rendering for the state or condition of captivity, with both terms denoting the abstract concept of captivity itself rather than the captives as a collective group (though both languages can extend to that sense contextually).

- Deuteronomy 21:11 refers to "a beautiful woman" seen "among the captives," and 2 Chronicles 28:5/28:11 both speak of the king's people "carried" away as "captives," all directly attesting the subjugated control this word denotes.
