Deut. Chap. 7 is pretty much entirely about how much God loves the Israelites, and describes how Israelites should treat their enemy nations: smite and utterly destroy, do not intermarry, destroy the artifacts of other religions, whiz on their fig trees, etc. God then promises to take away diseases and infertility from the Israelites and will instead lay these "upon all them that hate thee", suggesting that tw should not cancel his major medical.
In Deut. 20 He explains again that, make no mistake, the enemies are to be fully smited and their cities are to be considered an inheritance. Now, I should have said earlier, He specifies which peoples are the enemies. The following tribes are to be smited until dead: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. (Except in Deut: 20-17 he gives the Girgashites a pass.)
That includes their women. Deut 21:10-14 explains very clearly that if, while taking captives amongst these enemies, you see a woman you like in the captives, you can take her home, shave her head, cut her nails, and screw her brains out, until you don't enjoy her any longer, at which time you set her free. (But don't SELL her, because THAT would be WRONG.)
