9. And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
10. When you come near unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
11. And it shall be, if it makes to you an answer of peace, and opens unto you, then it shall be, that all the people that are found therein shall be subject unto you, and they shall serve you.
12. And if it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it:
13. And when the LORD your God has delivered it into your hands, you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword:
14. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shall you take unto yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
15. Thus shall you do unto all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
