The Biblical word used or Related to such kind of LOOT or SPOIL:

2/A. An incident of famous LOOT of the Emperor Aurangzeb’s Ship: (The case is borrowed as an illustration story from www.wikipedia)
- “The Ganj-i-Sawai” Fateh Muhammed, was captured on 7 September 1695 by the English pirate Henry Every en route from present day Mocha, Yemen to Surat, India.
- In response to the capture of the Ganj-i-Sawai, the Great Mughal, Aurangzeb, sent his army to five key ports for English trade in India, in order to close them: Bombay, Surat, Broach, Agra, and Ahmadabad.
- Aurangzeb effectively cut off English trade with India, for he would not reopen the ports until Henry Every was caught and executed for his crimes.
- The East India Company reconciled with the Great Mughal by fully compensating his losses, and filed an insurance claim for £350,000, though Aurangzeb requested this amount be doubled.
- The desire to see Every executed led to the first truly global manhunt in history, though he and the majority of his crew would never be caught. Six members of his crew were captured, tried, and executed, though they were not found guilty of seizing the Ganj-i-Sawai, but rather a different ship.
However, soon it so happened that after the after the incident of the capturing of the ships of Great India King Aurangzeb, the world came together to catch the Pirate to be tried. The first case was most famous Piracy and Loot. But it also was the 1st case of united efforts to catch the Pirates who were British.
