Deuteronomy 13:12 If in one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to dwell in, thou hear some say:

Cities. If the inhabitants agreed, in general, to introduce the worship of idols, they were to be first admonished, (Calmet) and if incorrigible, to be utterly destroyed. (Haydock) --- The obligation of seeing that this was executed, was left to the magistrates. (Du Hamel)
