Commentaire sur La Genèse 31:26
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָבָן֙ לְיַעֲקֹ֔ב מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֔יתָ וַתִּגְנֹ֖ב אֶת־לְבָבִ֑י וַתְּנַהֵג֙ אֶת־בְּנֹתַ֔י כִּשְׁבֻי֖וֹת חָֽרֶב׃
Laban dit à Jacob: "Qu’as-tu fait? Tu as abusé mon esprit et tu as emmené mes filles comme des prisonnières de guerre!

Siftei Chakhamim
An army going to war is called “sword.” [Rashi explains this] because “prisoners” are not of a חרב (sword). It should have said, “Prisoners of an army.”
