Deuteronomy 20:14-18

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.

16But of the citiesH5892 of these peopleH5971, which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 doth giveH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, thou shalt save aliveH2421 nothing that breathethH5397:

17But thou shalt utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them; namely, the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, the CanaanitesH3669, and the PerizzitesH6522, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983; as YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thee:

18That they teachH3925 you not to doH6213 after all their abominationsH8441, which they have doneH6213 unto their godsH430; so should ye sinH2398 against YhwhH3068 your GodH430.
