If he tells them to strike, they strike. If he tells them to destroy or build something, they destroy it or they build it.
if he tells them to attack, they attack; if he tells them to lay waste, they lay waste; if he tells them to build, they build;
if he tells them to attack, they attack; if he tells them to lay waste, they lay waste; if he tells them to build, they build;
if he tells them to attack, they attack; if he tells them to lay waste, they lay waste; if he tells them to build, they build;
and if he say them to smite [or and if he say to smite], they smite; if he say to outlaw, they outlaw; if he bid them to build, they build;
