thou goest.
Deut. 20:10‑16• 10When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
 11And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
 12And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
 13And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
 14But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
 15Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
 16But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: (Deut. 20:10‑16)
• Verses 10-17 bear, in a very special way, upon Israel's relationship to Jehovah. We shall not dwell upon it here. The reader will find numerous references to this subject, throughout the pages of the prophets, in which the Holy Ghost makes the most touching appeals to the conscience of the nation-appeals grounded on the marvelous fact of the relationship into which He had brought them to Himself, but in which they had so signally and grievously failed. Israel has proved an unfaithful wife, and, in consequence thereof, has been set aside. But the time will come when this long rejected but never forgotten people shall not only be reinstated but brought into a condition of blessedness, privilege and glory beyond anything ever known in the past. (“Deuteronomy 21” by C.H. Mackintosh)
