Deuteronomy 20:11-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
11
And if it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and serve you.
12
However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13
When the
Lord
your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword.
14
However, the women, the children, the animals, and everything that is in the city, all of its spoils, you shall take as plunder for yourself; and you shall use the spoils of your enemies which the
Lord
your God has given you.
15
This is what you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations nearby.
16
Only in the cities of these peoples that the
Lord
your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave anything that breathes alive.
King James Version
Chapter 20
11
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
12
And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
13
And when the
Lord
thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, 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 is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the
Lord
thy God hath given thee.
15
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16
But of the cities of these people, which the
Lord
thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
11
If it accepts your offer of peace and opens its gates to you, all the people found in it will become forced laborers for you and serve you.
12
However, if it does not make peace with you but wages war against you, lay siege to it.
13
When the
Lord
your God hands it over to you, strike down all its males with the sword.
14
But you may take the women, dependents, animals, and whatever else is in the city—all its spoil—as plunder. You may enjoy the spoil of your enemies that the
Lord
your God has given you.
15
This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and are not among the cities of these nations.
16
However, you must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the
Lord
your God is giving you as an inheritance.
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
11
If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor.
12
But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town.
13
When the
Lord
your God hands the town over to you, use your swords to kill every man in the town.
14
But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the plunder from your enemies that the
Lord
your God has given you.
15
But these instructions apply only to distant towns, not to the towns of the nations in the land you will enter.
16
In those towns that the
Lord
your God is giving you as a special possession, destroy every living thing.
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
11
And if it responds to you peaceably and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you.
12
But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13
And when the
Lord
your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword,
14
but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as plunder for yourselves. And you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the
Lord
your God has given you.
15
Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not cities of the nations here.
16
But in the cities of these peoples that the
Lord
your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes,
New International Version
Chapter 20
11
If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you.
12
If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city.
13
When the
Lord
your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it.
14
As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the
Lord
your God gives you from your enemies.
15
This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
16
However, in the cities of the nations the
Lord
your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.
New King James Version
Chapter 20
11
And it shall be that if they accept your offer of peace, and open to you, then all the people
who are
found in it shall be placed under tribute to you, and serve you.
12
Now if
the city
will not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13
And when the
Lord
your God delivers it into your hands, you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword.
14
But the women, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall plunder for yourself; and you shall eat the enemies’ plunder which the
Lord
your God gives you.
15
Thus you shall do to all the cities
which are
very far from you, which
are
not of the cities of these nations.
16
“But of the cities of these peoples which the
Lord
your God gives you
as
an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive,
