12. And if it will not make peace with thee, but will make war with thee, then thou shalt besiege it;
13. and when Jehovah thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
14. only the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that shall be in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take as booty for thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee
15. Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities that are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16. But of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth,
17. but shalt utterly devote them to destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee;
18. that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods, so that ye sin against Jehovah your God
