Deuteronomy 20:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² But if it does not accept your terms of peace and makes war against you, then you shall besiege it, ¹³ and when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword. ¹⁴ You may, however, take as your plunder the women, the children, livestock, and everything else in the town, all its spoil. You may enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you.^(A)
