In fact, the God of the Old Testament readily tells his "chosen people" to take women of other tribes as slaves and concubines for the use of God's "chosen" people.

Usually the God of the Old Testament only wants his "chosen" to take women who have not "Known or lied with a man." So women who had kids and husbands were a free-for-all massacre target. Virgins, not so much. Rape was very much approved for them. Cause, you know, God.
