Deuteronomy 20:19-20
Amplified Bible
19 “When you besiege a city for [a]a long time, making war against it in order to capture it, you shall not destroy its [fruit-bearing] trees by swinging an axe against them; for you may eat from them, and you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged (destroyed) by you? 20 Only the trees which you know are not [b]fruit trees shall you destroy and cut down, so that you may build [c]siegeworks against the city that is making war with you until it falls.
