    Isn’t that a major part of the Old Testament in the Bible? If I recall correctly, the Israelites fled slavery in Egypt and God commanded them to eradicate the inhabitants of Canaan, The Promised Land. There are whole books dedicated to successful military generals like Joshua. I’m not familiar with Jewish texts, though, just what I remember learning in Baptist churches as a kid.
