Deuteronomy 20:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ When the officers have finished speaking to the army, they must choose other officers to lead the groups of soldiers.

¹⁰ Before you start to attack a city, you must offer peace to the people who live there. Tell them what they must do to stop you attacking them. ¹¹ If they agree, they will open the city's gates to let you go in. Then all the people in the city will become your slaves, to do hard work for you.
