Numbers 31:7-17
New International Version
7 They fought against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses,(A) and killed every man.(B) 8 Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba(C)—the five kings of Midian.(D) They also killed Balaam son of Beor(E) with the sword.(F) 9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women(G) and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder.(H) 10 They burned(I) all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps.(J) 11 They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals,(K) 12 and brought the captives, spoils(L) and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly(M) at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.(N)
13 Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army(O)—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle.
15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice(P) and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident,(Q) so that a plague(R) struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,(S)

Deuteronomy 20:13-18
New International Version
13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it.(A) 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock(B) and everything else in the city,(C) you may take these as plunder(D) for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance(E) from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.(F) 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods,(G) and you will sin(H) against the Lord your God.
