Deuteronomy 20:10 Context
8And the Officers shall speake further vnto the people: and they shall say, What man is there that is fearefull and faint hearted? let him goe and returne vnto his house, lest his brethrens heart faint as well as his heart. 9And it shall be when the Officers haue made an end of speaking vnto the people, that they shall make Captaines of the armies to leade the people. 10¶ When thou commest nigh vnto a City to fight against it, then proclaime peace vnto it. 11And it shall be, if it make thee answere of peace, and open vnto thee, then it shalbe that all the people that is found therein, shall be tributaries vnto thee, and they shall serue thee. 12And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make warre against thee, then thou shalt besiege it.
