Deuteronomy 20:10-15
10When thou comest nighH7126 unto a cityH5892 to fightH3898 against it, then proclaimH7121 peaceH7965 unto it. 11And it shall be, if it make thee answerH6030 of peaceH7965, and openH6605 unto thee, then it shall be, that all the peopleH5971 that is foundH4672 therein shall be tributariesH4522 unto thee, and they shall serveH5647 thee. 12And if it will make no peaceH7999 with thee, but will makeH6213 warH4421 against thee, then thou shalt besiegeH6696 it: 13And when YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 it into thine handsH3027, thou shalt smiteH5221 every maleH2138 thereof with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719: 14But the womenH802, and the little onesH2945, and the cattleH929, and all that is in the cityH5892, even all the spoilH7998 thereof, shalt thou takeH962 unto thyself; and thou shalt eatH398 the spoilH7998 of thine enemiesH341, which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.1 15Thus shalt thou doH6213 unto all the citiesH5892 which are veryH3966 far offH7350 from thee, whichH2007 are not of the citiesH5892 of these nationsH1471.
