αἰχμάλωτος aichmálōtos · G164 · captive, prisoner of war
Greek αἰχμάλωτος specifically denotes a prisoner/captive of war (the person taken), while Hebrew שׁוֹלָל denotes the spoil/plunder itself (goods/property stripped away); the LXX uses the Greek term to render contexts where Israel becomes the spoiled/plundered party, metonymically shifting from the material loss to the captive status of the people.
