Deuteronomio 20:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 20:13

And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands,
&c.] When, what with pressures without, and calamities within, the city is obliged to surrender: this is not to be imputed to the methods and arts of war used in besieging, or to the courage and skill of the besiegers; but to the power and providence of God succeeding means used, and sending famine or pestilence among the besieged, and inclining their hearts to deliver up their city:

thou shall smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword;
the men in it, grown persons, as distinguished from little ones in the next verse; because it was owing to these it was not surrendered at once, when terms of peace were offered.

Deuteronomio 20:13 In-Context

11 E se acconsente alla pace e t’apre le sue porte, tutto il popolo che vi si troverà ti sarà tributario e soggetto.
12 Ma s’essa non vuol far pace teco e ti vuol far guerra, allora l’assedierai;
13 e quando l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, te l’avrà data nelle mani, ne metterai a fil di spada tutti i maschi;
14 ma le donne, i bambini, il bestiame e tutto ciò che sarà nella città, tutto quanto il suo bottino, te li prenderai come tua preda; e mangerai il bottino de’ tuoi nemici, che l’Eterno, l’Iddio tuo, t’avrà dato.
15 Così farai per tutte le città che sono molto lontane da te, e che non sono città di queste nazioni.
