Deuteronomy 20:12 in Context — Deuteronomy 20

10 Cuando te acercares á una ciudad para combatirla, le intimarás la paz.

11 Y será que, si te respondiere, Paz, y te abriere, todo el pueblo que en ella fuere hallado te serán tributarios, y te servirán.

12 Mas si no hiciere paz contigo, y emprendiere contigo guerra, y la cercares,

13 Luego que Jehová tu Dios la entregare en tu mano, herirás á todo varón suyo á filo de espada.

14 Solamente las mujeres y los niños, y los animales, y todo lo que hubiere en la ciudad, todos sus despojos, tomarás para ti: y comerás del despojo de tus enemigos, los cuales Jehová tu Dios te entregó.
