11 If then they should answer peaceably to thee, and open to thee, it shall be that all the people found in it shall be tributary and subject to thee.
12 But if they will not hearken to thee, but wage war against thee, thou shalt invest it;
13 until the Lord thy God shall deliver it into thy hands, and thou shalt smite every male of it with the edge of the sword:
14 except the women and the stuff: and all the cattle, and whatsoever shall be in the city, and all the plunder thou shalt take as spoil for thyself, and shalt eat all the plunder of thine enemies whom the Lord thy God gives thee.
15 Thus shalt thou do to all the cities that are very far off from thee, not being of the cities of these nations which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit their land.
16 Of these ye shall not take any thing alive;
17 but ye shall surely curse them, the Chettite, and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergesite; as the Lord thy God commanded thee:
18 that they may not teach you to do all their abominations, which they did to their gods, and so ye should sin before the Lord your God.
