Deuteronomy 20:10-20

10When thou drawest nigh unto a cityH5892 to fightH3898 againstH5921 it, then proclaimH7121 peaceH7965 unto it. 11And it shall be, ifH518 it makeH5647 thee answerH6030 of peaceH7965, and openH6605 unto thee, then it shall be, that allH3605 the peopleH5971 that is foundH4672 therein shall becomeH1961 tributary unto thee, and shall serveH5647 thee. 12And ifH518 it will makeH6213 noH3808 peace with thee, but will makeH6213 warH4421 againstH5921 thee, then thou shalt besiege it: 13and when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 delivereth it intoH3027 thine handH3027, thou shalt smiteH5221 everyH3605 male thereof with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719: 14but the womenH802, and the littleH2945 onesH2945, and the cattleH929, and allH3605 that is in the cityH5892, evenH853 allH3605 the spoilH7998 thereof, shalt thou takeH962 for a preyH962 unto thyself; and thou shalt eatH398 the spoilH7998 of thine enemiesH341, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee. 15ThusH3651 shalt thou doH6213 unto allH3605 the citiesH5892 whichH834 are veryH3966 farH7350 offH7350 from thee, whichH834 are notH3808 of the citiesH5892 of theseH428 nationsH1471. 16But of the citiesH5892 of theseH428 peoplesH5971, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee for an inheritanceH5159, thou shalt save aliveH2421 nothingH3808 that breatheth: 17but thou shalt utterly destroyH2763 them; the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669, and the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983; as the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thee: 18that they teachH3925 youH834 notH3808 to doH6213 after allH3605 their abominationsH8441, whichH834 they have doneH6213 unto their godsH430; soH4616 should ye sinH2398 againstH2398 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. 19When thou shalt besiege a cityH5892 a longH3117 time, in makingH3772 war againstH5921 it to takeH935 it, thou shalt notH3808 destroyH7843 the treesH6086 thereof by wieldingH8610 an axeH1631 againstH5921 them; for thou mayest eatH398 of them, and thou shalt notH3808 cutH3772 them downH3772; for is the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 manH120, that it should be besiegedH4692 of thee? 20OnlyH7535 the treesH6086 whichH834 thou knowest that they be notH3808 treesH6086 for meat, thou shalt destroyH7843 and cutH3772 them downH3381; and thou shalt buildH1129 bulwarks againstH5921 the cityH5892 that maketh warH4421 with thee, untilH5704 it fallH3381.
