1 Kings 20:18 KJV
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive;
or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.

What was in Assyrian king Ben Haddad's mind when he gave this order?

Haddad (scholars say this is Aramaic for "Smith") was what we could call Gentile [Greek: ethne], heathen, yet here he shows reluctance against unnecessary killing of the people under king of Israel.

Ahab was not a role-model of believer in LORD God Jehovah, and neither his wife Jezebel who was later known for decimating the prophets of the LORD because of Nabot's vineyard - a petty gain for king who had half of Israel, but inheritance of
fathers to Nabot, something sacred.

Often in wars of these days we see the enemy sacrificed by their leaders, or being
historically placed under some government that brainwashes them into collective mind, eliminating any diversity. The only military skill trained is stomping with funny march in a square of rows and columns; identical moves, identical steps, good for parade, but sin to kill in the battle as if shooting on brainwashed
schoolboys whom somebody picked up and sent to march on dragon teeth.

If it is too easy, then it must be wrong!

Doesn't your own heart tell you that?

If we look at what could be the reason to stand against the Western corruption, and their sodomic freedoms to be a son or daughter of Sodom, this is annihilation
of faith, and moral corruption is far worse than being mixed race or mixed ethnicity.

The Law of God against Sodom did not change, and sooner will heaven and earth pass than a yota of Law will change.

The perils of the WW2 might have been avoided if Weimar Republic had carismatic preachers of Gospel that would convert Weimar-corrupted youth in the way apostle
Paul did in

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, NOR ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES WITH MANKIND, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

It is unknown what happened with the carismatic Christian ministers and preachers
in Weimar Republic, and with all of Thors and Freyas, who were symbol of family values, motherhood and virtue.

Romans 8
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might
be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Just like the Pharisees could only stone the adulteress and seclude the
lepers, the Law (religious Law or the State law) was powerless against immorality.
In this aspect, "uncle Dolph", as his niece called him, was as well powerless and he could only execute his own people he perceived as weak or generate.

But in this (sterilisation and euthanasia of the mentally ill), he would have also euthanased young Werther and Nietzsche who also suffered from mental breakdowns
that are sometimes inseparable from spiritual growth, old self being thrown away like old exoskeleton of some species like crabs.

When psychiatry came, it started to pile up the lunatics in asylums, for the later generation to sterilise them and euthanase them for the glory of German race.

Effectively, this part of philosophers and thinkers in the capacity of Nietszche
was aborted before being born, whether by psychiatric diagnosis, and especially with insulin shocks, electroshocks, lobotomy or its chemical counterpart -
mind drugs.

Psychiatrists gradually replaced priesthood, but only to lead into obedient cringe
unto marching towards enemy bunkers and fortifications with machine gun nests.

What has Ben Haddad seen worthy in the life of his enemy's soldiers, thought the
prophet of the LORD wanted his life at all cost or Ahab had to pay with his for his mercy towards the enemy king?

Later prophet Elisha had shown compassion for the enemy: when Namaan, Assyrian general who was leprous came with gifts, Elisha ordered that he should bathe seven times in river Jordan. Lord Jesus said that there were many lepers in Israel at the time, and none was healer but Assyrian general Namaan? Why was that?

Biblical thought and the grace of God gradually increased, so Jesus teaches us to
"love our enemies, bless those who curse us" (Matthew 5:44), for he already had in
mind that Satan will hold no one for good except his own seed.

In light of this, if we are to share some future Paradise or Heaven, it would be
more profitable to release the enemy from brainwashing and see if they can accept
Gospel, saving not only their mortal lives, but their souls as well, by faith in
Jesus Christ and One God Creator.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son,
that none who believeth may perish, but have everlasting life.

in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Almighty, Longsuffering (Slow to anger),
Creator of the Universe, All-Seeing (El-Roi), All-Hearing (Yishma-El), All-Knowing (El-Deowt),
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and
in the name of the Holy Ghost of God
Amen
