Y sucederá que si ella está de acuerdo en hacer la paz contigo y te abre sus puertas, entonces todo el pueblo que se encuentra en ella estará sujeto a ti para trabajos forzados y te servirá.
Y ser que, si te diere respuesta de paz, y te abriere, todo el pueblo que en ella fuere hallado te ser tributario, y te servir.
Y ser que , si te respondiere: Paz, y te abriere, todo el pueblo que en ella fuere hallado te sern tributarios, y te servirn.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace,.... Comply with the terms of peace offered:
and open unto thee; the gates of the city and its garrisons, and deliver all into their hands:
then it shall be that all the people that is found therein; some having made their escape before the surrender of the city:
shall be tributaries unto thee: pay a yearly tax imposed upon them, as the Moabites sometimes did, and which was paid in lambs and rams with the wool, 2 Kings 3:4
and they shall serve thee; not as slaves, or be in continual bondage and servitude; but upon occasion be called out to any public service, as joining them against their enemies, rebuilding palaces and cities, or repairing walls of cities, and the like; and in general acknowledge their dominion over them, and their own subjection to them, by paying an annual tribute, or sending gifts unto them; thus the Moabites, Syrians, and Edomites, became the servants of David, 2 Samuel 8:2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Directions intended to prevent wanton destruction of life and property in sieges.
Deuteronomy 20:16
Forbearance, however, was not to be shown toward the Canaanite nations, which were to be utterly exterminated (compare Deuteronomy 7:1-4). The command did not apply to beasts as well as men (compare Joshua 11:11, Joshua 11:14).
Deuteronomy 20:19
The parenthesis may he more literally rendered “for man is a tree of the field,” i. e., has his life from the tree of the field, is supported in life by it (compare Deuteronomy 24:6). The Egyptians seem invariably to have cut down the fruit-trees in war.
