When
the LORD your God brings you into the land where you will come to
possess it, and have cut off many nations before you, the Hittites, the
Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites,
and the Jebusites, seven nations greater than... They are stronger than
you, and if the LORD your God gives them up before you to smite them,
then you shall banish them, and make no covenant with them, nor show
favor to them.
You will devour all the nations that the LORD your
God gives you. Your eyes shall not spare them, nor shall you serve
their gods; for that would become a snare for you. Deuteronomy 7:1-2
And
the LORD your God will send hornets among them to destroy those who are
left who are hiding from you. Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD
your God is among you, a great and terrible God. And the LORD your God
will drive out these nations little by little; You cannot wear them out
quickly, otherwise the animals of the field will multiply to your
detriment. The LORD your God will deliver them up before you and bring
them into great confusion until they are destroyed. And he will deliver
their kings into your hand, and you shall blot out their names from
under heaven. No one will resist you until you destroy them.
5. Moses 7, 16 / 20-24
even with regulations:
When
you go before a city to make war on it, you shall offer it peace. If
it answers you peacefully and opens it to you, then all the people that
are found therein shall be obligated and servile to you. But if she
does not want to negotiate peacefully with you, but rather wage war with
you, then besiege her. And when the LORD your God gives it into your
hand, you shall smite every male in it with the edge of the sword; but
you shall take the women, and the children, and the cattle, and all that
is in the city, and all the plunder, for your own spoil, and you shall
eat of the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you.
15 This is what you shall do to all the cities that are very far from
you, and are not among the cities of these peoples here. But in the
cities of these peoples which the LORD your God is giving you as an
inheritance, you shall not allow anything that has breath to live, but
you shall destroy them: the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the
Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites; as the LORD your God has commanded
you
5. Moses 20, 10-17
or immediately with an announcement:
Hear,
O Israel: Today you will cross the Jordan to go in to overwhelm nations
greater and stronger than you, to take great cities fortified as high
as heaven, a great and tall people, the children of Anak, whom you know ,
of whom you have also heard it said, Who can resist the children of
Anak? This day you shall know that the LORD your God is going before
you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and subdue them before
you, and drive them out and kill them quickly, as the LORD has promised
you.
5. Moses 9, 1-3
because whoever is found there will be
stabbed, and whoever is there will fall by the sword. Their children
will also be crushed before their eyes, their houses will be plundered,
and their wives will be violated. For behold, I will raise up the Medes
against them, who will not seek silver or ask for gold, but will shoot
the young men with bows, and will not have mercy on the fear of the
body, nor will they spare the children.
Isaiah 13, 15-19
Then
the people raised a shout and blew the trumpets. For when the people
heard the sound of the trumpets, they made a great shout. And the walls
fell down, and the people went up into the city, each one straight
ahead. So they conquered the city (Hebrews 11:30) 21 and destroyed
everything that was in the city with the edge of the sword: man and
woman, young and old, oxen, sheep and asses.
Joshua 6:21
And
when Israel had slain all the inhabitants of Ai in the field and in the
desert who were pursuing them, and all had fallen by the edge of the
sword until they all perished, then all Israel turned against Ai and
smote it with the edge of the sword. And all who fell that day, both
men and women, were twelve thousand, all people of Ai.
Joshua 8:24-25
The
same day Joshua also captured Makkedah and smote it with the edge of
the sword, and its king, and banished it and all the souls that were in
it, leaving no one left
Joshua 10:28
And the LORD also gave
Lachish into the hands of Israel, and they conquered it the next day,
and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in
it, just as they had done to Libnah. At that time Horam king of Gezer
went up to help Lachish; but Joshua smote him and all his people, until
none remained.
[…]
Then Joshua returned with all Israel
to Debir, and fought against it, and conquered it with its king and all
its cities. and smote it with the edge of the sword, and banished all
the souls that were therein, and left none left.
Joshua 10:32-33, 38-39
Here God YHWH intervenes personally again:
Then
Joshua did to them as the LORD had told him, and paralyzed their
horses, and burned their chariots, and returned at that time, and took
Hazor, and smote his king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the
capital of all these kingdoms. And they smote all the souls that were
therein with the edge of the sword, and banished them: and he left none
that had breath, and burnt Hazor with fire.
...can be continued as desired...

and so on and no the New Testament does not necessarily abolish the Old
Testament, likewise the Old Testament is contained in Tanach, the
Jewish counterpart which also contains the Torah. Talmut is what Sharia
is to Muslims. A kind of collection of laws based on the holy
scriptures. (to put it very simply)
