ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૨૦:૧૨
અને જો તે નગર તમારી સાથે સલાહ ન કરે પણ તમારી વિરુદ્ધ યુદ્ધ કરે તો તમે તે નગરને ઘેરો ઘાલો;
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण २०:१२
परन्तु यदि वे तुझ से संधि न करें, परन्तु तुझ से लड़ना चाहें, तो तू उस नगर को घेर लेना;

In context

10When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.

11It shall be, if it gives you answer of peace and opens to you, then it shall be that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve you.

12If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.

13When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword;

14but the women, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its plunder, you shall take for plunder for yourself. You may use the plunder of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
