Deuteronomy 20

¹¹ If they accept your offer of peace and open their gates, all the people there will become forced laborers to serve you.

¹² But if they refuse to make peace with you and wage war against you, lay siege to that city.

¹³ When the LORD your God has delivered it into your hand, you must put every male to the sword.

¹⁴ But the women, children, livestock, and whatever else is in the city—all its spoil—you may take as plunder, and you shall use the spoil of your enemies that the LORD your God gives you.

¹⁵ This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
