    Deuteronomy 20

    This chapter settles the militia, and establishes the laws and ordinances of war, I. Relating to the soldiers. 1. Those must be encouraged that were drawn up to battle, Deuteronomy 20:1-20:4. 2. Those must be dismissed and sent back again whose private affairs called for their attendance at home (Deuteronomy 20:5-20:7), or whose weakness and timidity unfitted them for service in the field, Deuteronomy 20:8, 20:9. II. Relating to the enemies they made war with. 1. The treaties they must make with the cities that were far off, Deuteronomy 20:10-20:15. 2. The destruction they must make of the people into whose land they were going, Deuteronomy 20:16-20:18. 3. The care they must take, in besieging cities, not to destroy the fruit-trees, Deuteronomy 20:19, 20:20.MHBCC 174.1
