Deuteronomy 20:14-18 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

14. You may, however, take for yourselves the women, the children, the livestock, and everything else in the city. You may use everything that belongs to your enemies. The Lord has given it to you.

15. That is how you are to deal with those cities that are far away from the land you will settle in.

16. “But when you capture cities in the land that the Lord your God is giving you, kill everyone.

17. Completely destroy all the people: the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, as the Lord ordered you to do.

18. Kill them, so that they will not make you sin against the Lord by teaching you to do all the disgusting things that they do in the worship of their gods.
