Deuteronomy 20:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible

15 You must do this to all the cities that are far away from you. But it is different for the cities that belong to the nations of Canaan where you will live.

16 You will take for yourselves the cities in the land that the Lord your God is giving to you as your home. In those cities, you must kill everything that is alive, people and animals. 17 You must completely destroy all the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites. The Lord your God has commanded you to do this to the people of those nations.[a]
