Deuteronomy 20:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² But if they will not make peace, and shall begin war against thee, thou shalt besiege it.

¹³ And when the Lord thy God shall deliver it into thy bands, thou shalt slay all that are therein of the male sex, with the edge of the sword,

¹⁴ Excepting women and children, cattle and other things, that are in the city. And thou shalt divide all the prey to the army, and thou shalt eat the spoils of thy enemies, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
