Deuteronomy 20:10-15

10When thou comest nearH7126 to a cityH5892 to fightH3898 against it, then proclaimH7121 peaceH7965 to it. 11And it shall be, if it shall make thee answerH6030 of peaceH7965, and openH6605 to thee, then it shall be, that all the peopleH5971 that are foundH4672 in it shall be forced labourersH4522 to 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 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 it into thy handsH3027, thou shalt smiteH5221 every maleH2138 of it 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 of it, shalt thou takeH962 to thyself; and thou shalt eatH398 the spoilH7998 of thy enemiesH341, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.1 15Thus shalt thou doH6213 to all the citiesH5892 which are veryH3966 distantH7350 from thee, whichH2007 are not of the citiesH5892 of these nationsH1471.
