“And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.”
and camp against them and destroy the produce of the land, as far as the land of Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel, and no sheep or ox or donkey. — The comprehensive destruction of agricultural produce, livestock ('sheep or ox or donkey'), and economic resources indicates that the raiders pursued not mere plunder but systematic impoverishment designed to reduce Israel to starvation.
