    Technically, as I understand it, that is a mistranslation. It should be “Thou shalt not commit murder”. Executions and killing in war are perfectly okay with the god of the Bible. It’s only *illegal *killing that you should refrain from. In fact, there are numerous places in the Bible where the readers are told to kill people in god’s name. So you can get right out there and start killing men, women, and babies with no worry that you’ll go to hell for it.
