Deuteronomy 20:13-18

13and when Jehovah thy GodH430 delivereth it into thy handH3027, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the swordH2719: 14but the womenH802, and the littleH2945 onesH2945, and the cattleH929, and all that is in the cityH5892, even all the spoilH7998 thereof, shalt thou takeH962 for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eatH398 the spoilH7998 of thine enemiesH341, which Jehovah thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee. 15ThusH3651 shalt thou do unto all the citiesH5892 which are veryH3966 farH7350 off from thee, which are not of the citiesH5892 of these nationsH1471. 16But of the citiesH5892 of these peoplesH5971, that Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee for an inheritanceH5159, thou shalt save aliveH2421 nothing that breatheth; 17but thou shalt utterly destroyH2763 them: the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669, and the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983; as Jehovah thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thee; 18that they teachH3925 you not to do after all their abominationsH8441, which they have done unto their godsH430; soH4616 would ye sinH2398 against Jehovah your GodH430.
