This is your chance to show that scripture and prove it to me?
I have read the bible through and through and never seen one and yet that is what I keep hearing. I do know that they could take the virgin women as wives to keep those people from dieing out.
Or destroying whole tribes. But they were commanded to take care of them and treat them as a wife. Show me where it says rape the women?

Perhaps people do not understand.
The Bible is important as an Historical Document.
What is recorded in the Old Testament, by the few that had the inkhorn, and paper, is the history of the various warring nations, seeking to Rule, and Dominate the earth, especially where it concerned Israel.
This does not mean that God approved of thier actions.
In fact, the Bible records the sins of man, for future posterity! Gods Word is like a double edged sword!
God bound men in dense darkness, reserved for the final Day.

There is no scripture commanding men to rape women. There is though, an implicit command to women to subject themselves to their husbands sexual wishes, submitting themselves to their husbands as if their husbands were the Lord. (Ephesians 5:22 and on)
In the real world, when a woman does not wish to have sex, but is compelled to by any man, including her husband, this is called rape.

(Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, WOMEN RAVISHED; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
Women ravished? Sounds like a command to rape to me.

They are accurate on their passages, if they were not they would just look foolish, especially when it is so easy to check.
Now what do you think of the idea that the man who just murdered your mother, your father, your brothers and sisters including their babies. The man who murdered the young man you wanted to marry getting to take you as a captive and put his own seed into you. Sounds good right! Nope, I guess you are right, that is not rape.

What you described in your own questions is two clear examples of god endorsed rape. Don't you even know what rape is? Typical christian ignorance.

You can't see that taking a virgin as a spoil of war and treating her as a "wife" is rape? How would YOU like it?
LOL!
Numbers 31:18 Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.
Deut 20 But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder.
Deut 22:28-29
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
That's punishment?
2 Samuel 12:11
Thus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'
Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB
"When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb. After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife. However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion."
Judges 5:30 NAB
They must be dividing the spoils they took: there must be a damsel or two for each man, Spoils of dyed cloth as Sisera's spoil, an ornate shawl or two for me in the spoil. Judges 5:30
Exodus 21:7-11
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed

NO, there is no scripture that says that. The bible speaks of Whoremongers which can be a man or a woman that sleeps with many men or women. Why would God condone rape?

It doesn't. Don't know who is telling you such things, but they are either ignorant or deceitful.

No. It is the growing selfishness and cruelty in humans that is doing all this....
