Depredation
Depredation is the act of preying upon or plundering; robbery; ravage.
After Israel's siege of Jericho, Achan engaged in depredation against God's wishes. (Joshua 7:1) He was eventually stoned for his transgression. (Joshua 7:24-25)
But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things under the ban, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban, therefore the anger of the LORD burned against the sons of Israel. (Joshua 7:1, NASB)
Note: This representation of the stoning of Achan was painted by Gustave Doré (1832-1883).
