captivities
States of bondage
Captivities is the plural of captivity—the state of being held prisoner or confined against one's will.
The plural form appears when discussing multiple instances or periods of confinement: the captivities endured by prisoners of war, a history of captivities and escapes.
In religious contexts, it often refers to the Babylonian captivity of the Jews.
