* "
When you go near a city to fight against it ,
then proclaim an offer of peace to it .
*
And it shall be that if they accept your offer of peace ,
and open to you ,
then all the people who are found in it shall be placed under tribute to you ,
and serve you .
*
Now if the city will not make peace with you ,
but war against you ,
then you shall besiege it .
*
And when the LORD your God delivers it into your hands ,
you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword .
*
But the women ,
the little ones ,
the livestock ,
and all that is in the city ,
all its spoil ,
you shall plunder for yourself ;
and you shall eat the enemies '
plunder which the LORD your God gives you .
*
Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far from you ,
which are not of the cities of these nations .
* "
But of the cities of these peoples which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance ,
you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive ,
