New Testament

Deuteronomy 20:13-18 New Century Version (NCV)

13. The Lord your God will give it to you. Then kill all the men with your swords,

14. and you may take everything else in the city for yourselves. Take the women, children, and animals, and you may use these things the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.

15. Do this to all the cities that are far away, that do not belong to the nations nearby.

16. But leave nothing alive in the cities of the land the Lord your God is giving you.

17. Completely destroy these people: the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded.

18. Otherwise, they will teach you what they do for their gods, and if you do these hateful things, you will sin against the Lord your God.
