"And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And if it will make no peace with thee,.... Will not accept of terms of peace offered: but will make war against thee; come out and fight, or prepare to
defend themselves: then thou shall besiege it; surround and block it up on all sides with their forces; the Jews say only on three sides, leaving one for any to flee and make their escape if they thought fit; See Gill on Num 31:7 .
