13. and if the Lord thy God should deliver it into thine hands, then thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword.
14. Only the women and the little ones and the animals and all that is in the city, all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat of the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God has 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 Gentiles.
16. Only of the cities of these peoples, which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breathes;
17. but thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the Lord thy God has commanded thee,
18. that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they do unto their gods, lest ye should sin against the Lord your God.
