Deuteronomy 20:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ When the officers finish speaking to the people, they are to appoint army commanders at the head of the people.

¹⁰ When you approach a city to fight against it, call out to it, asking for a peaceful surrender. ¹¹ If the city answers you, “Peace,” and it opens up its gates for you, then all the people found in it will become forced labor for you and they will serve you.
