The meaning of Booty in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

captives or cattle or objects of value taken in war. In Canaan all that breathed were to be destroyed (Deuteronomy 20:: 16). The "pictures and images" of the Canaanites were to be destroyed also (Numbers 33:52). The law of booty as to its division is laid down in Numbers 31:26-47. David afterwards introduced a regulation that the baggage-guard should share the booty equally with the soldiers engaged in battle. He also devoted of the spoils of war for the temple (I Samuel 30:24-26; 2Sam 8:11; I Chronicles 26:27).
