Deuteronomio 20:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 20:10

When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it
This is to be understood of an arbitrary war, as Jarchi observes; which they engaged in of themselves, or were provoked to by their enemies; which was their own choice, and according to their own will and pleasure; and their conduct towards their enemies in it was different from that in a war with the seven nations, commanded by the Lord, and distinguished from it, ( Deuteronomy 20:15 Deuteronomy 20:16 ) .

then proclaim peace unto it;
that is, offer them terms of peace; which were, that the inhabitants of it should renounce idolatry, and become their tributaries and servants.

Deuteronomio 20:10 In-Context

8 Entonces los oficiales hablarán otra vez al pueblo, y dirán: "¿Quién es hombre medroso y de corazón apocado? Que salga y regrese a su casa para que no haga desfallecer el corazón de sus hermanos como desfallece el corazón suyo."
9 Y sucederá que cuando los oficiales acaben de hablar al pueblo, nombrarán capitanes de tropas a la cabeza del pueblo.
10 Cuando te acerques a una ciudad para pelear contra ella, le ofrecerás primero la paz.
11 Y sucederá que si ella está de acuerdo en hacer la paz contigo y te abre sus puertas, entonces todo el pueblo que se encuentra en ella estará sujeto a ti para trabajos forzados y te servirá.
12 Sin embargo, si no hace la paz contigo, sino que emprende la guerra contra ti, entonces la sitiarás.
