Deuteronomy 20:9

⁷And what man is he that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.

⁸And the scribes shall speak further to the people, and say, What man is he that fears and is cowardly in his heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest he make the heart of his brother fail, as his own.

— Deuteronomy 20:9 —

¹⁰And if thou shalt draw nigh to a city to overcome them by war, then call them out peaceably.

¹¹If then they should answer peaceably to thee, and open to thee, it shall be that all the people found in it shall be tributary and subject to thee.
