Deuteronomy 20:12
World English Bible (WEB)
If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
In context
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
11 It shall be, if it gives you answer of peace and opens to you, then it shall be that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve you.
12 If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13 When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword;
14 but the women, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its plunder, you shall take for plunder for yourself. You may use the plunder of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
