Deuteronomy 20:7-9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 And what man has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her.
8 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and say, What man is fearful and fainthearted? Let him return to his house, lest [because of him] his brethren’s [minds and] hearts faint as does his own.
9 And when the officers finish speaking to the people, they shall appoint commanders at the head of the people.
