Don\u2019t be discouraged! Don\u2019t be afraid! Don\u2019t panic! Don\u2019t shake in fear on account of them, 4because the LORD your God is going with you to fight your enemies for you and to save you.\u201d 5The officials will also say to the troops: \u201cIs there anyone here who has just built a new house but hasn\u2019t yet dedicated it? He can leave and go back to his house; otherwise, he might die in the war and someone else would dedicate the house. 6Or is there anyone here who has planted a vineyard but hasn\u2019t yet put it to good use? He can leave and go back to his house; otherwise, he might die in the battle and someone else would use the vineyard. 7Or is there anyone here who is engaged but not yet married? He may leave and go back to his house; otherwise, he might die in the battle and someone else would marry his fianc\u00e9e.\u201d 8The officials will continue to address the troops, stating: \u201cIs there anyone here who is afraid and discouraged? He can leave and go back to his house; otherwise, his comrades might lose courage just as he has.\u201d 9Once the officials have completed their speech to the troops, the army commanders will assume leadership of the forces. 10When you approach a city to fight against it, you should first extend peaceful terms to it. 11If the city responds with peaceful terms and surrenders to you, then all the people in the city will serve you as forced laborers. 12However, if the city does not negotiate peacefully with you but makes war against you, you may attack it. 13The LORD your God will hand it over to you; you must kill all the city\u2019s males with the sword. 14However, you can take for yourselves the women, the children, the animals, and all that is in the city\u2014all its plunder. You can then enjoy your enemies\u2019 plunder, which the LORD your God has given you. 15That\u2019s what you must do to all the cities that are located far away from you\u2014specifically, those cities that don\u2019t belong to these nations here. 16But in the case of any of the cities of these peoples\u2014the ones the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance\u2014you must not spare any living thing. 17Instead, you must place these under the ban:20.17 See note at Deut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FUB3NYhoRvQ&amp;t=154s\">2:34<\/a>. Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites\u2014just as the LORD your God commanded you. 18Then they can\u2019t teach you to do all the detestable things they did for their gods, with the result that you end up sinning against the LORD your God. 19Now if you have been attacking a city for some time, fighting against it and trying to conquer it, don\u2019t destroy its trees by cutting them down with axes. You can eat from those trees; don\u2019t cut them down! Do you think a tree of the field is some sort of warrior to be attacked by you in battle? 20That said, if you know that a tree is not a food-producing tree, you are allowed to destroy it, cutting it down and using it in the siege against the city that is fighting against you until it falls. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2M2eTVER2diOVhUUXVfeElITExqT1dpVTM0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuTF91VUw0ejBrc3JmbzZyVnZTTXZmN2h2MXM2TEtrUE80aVFVZlZFRFhtZUkxdEpxQ1NYRVBqSUowcUU1ZjhxZ2p5RloyMDF1Ny1YMjc5dTUtWWwzTktDWk55QmVaQVE5NldTNEJfal9oTmVKRzhYTQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1When you march out to battle your enemies and you see horses, chariots, and a fighting force larger than yours, don\u2019t be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, the one who brought you up from Egypt, is with you. 2As you advance toward the war, the priest will come forward and will address [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1606,1607,6,752,5],"class_list":["post-1967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-youtube","tag-deuteronomy-20-rules-of-warfare","tag-https-www-youtube-com-watchvfub3nyhorvqt6s","tag-thomas-mcneilly","tag-thomas-mcneilly-videos","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1967"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1968,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1967\/revisions\/1968"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
