Deuteronomy 20:14-18
New King James Version
14 But the women, the little ones, (A)the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall plunder for yourself; and (B)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 (C)of the cities of these peoples which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive, 17 but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as the Lord your God has commanded you, 18 lest (D)they teach you to do according to all their [a]abominations which they have done for their gods, and you (E)sin against the Lord your God.
