Deuteronomy 20:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ When the officers finish speaking to the troops, they should appoint commanders to lead them.

¹⁰ When you approach a city to attack it, offer its people a peaceful way to surrender. ¹¹ If they accept it and open ⌞their gates⌟ to you, then all the people there will be made to do forced labor and serve you.
