DEUTERONOMY 20:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:”
But if it does not submit to you peacefully, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it — the refusal of peace terms triggers siege warfare; the city's rejection of peaceful subjugation justifies the subsequent destruction.
