Deuteronomy 20:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 but the women and children and livestock and anything else in the city—all its spoil—you may take as plunder for yourselves, and you may enjoy this spoil of your enemies, which the Lord, your God, has given you.
15 [a]That is how you shall deal with any city at a considerable distance from you, which does not belong to these nations here. 16 (A)But in the cities of these peoples that the Lord, your God, is giving you as a heritage, you shall not leave a single soul alive.
