Deuteronomy 20:11-16 and it shall be, if, peace, be the answer it giveth thee, and it open unto thee, then shall it be, that, all the people that are found therein, shall become thy tributaries, and shall serve thee.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ and it shall be, if, peace, be the answer it giveth thee, and it open unto thee, then shall it be, that, all the people that are found therein, shall become thy tributaries, and shall serve thee. ¹² But, if it will not make peace with thee, but will make war with thee, then shalt thou lay siege to it; ¹³ and Yahweh thy God will deliver it into thy hand,––and thou shalt smite every male thereof, with the edge of the sword; ¹⁴ but, 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 thy prey,––so shalt thou eat the spoil of thine enemies, whom Yahweh thy God hath delivered unto thee. ¹⁵ Thus, shalt thou do unto all the cities, that are very far away from thee,––which are not of the cities of those nations. ¹⁶ But, of the cities of these peoples, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance, shalt thou not save alive, any breathing thing.
