When you come near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
And it shall be, if it make you answer of peace, and open to you, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries to you, and they shall serve you.

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 to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
Thus shall you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
But of the cities of these people, which the LORD your God does give you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes:
