You seem unable to decide whether or not the narratives exist as described to be justified and reinterpreted in a friendlier light. If you trust the interpretations, then trust them. God commands his people to ethnic cleansing with a side of sex trafficking as a reward for their service. Incensed that they fail to wholly carry out this attempted genocide (rather than that they engaged in it) he punishes his shock troops.
These are the actions of a war criminal, who orders a regiment of men to raze a city in a particularly brutal fashion, and then disciplines his soldiers for displaying even the tiniest amount of compassion in contradiction to his orders. That, is the accurate translation..which you trust, of the actions and motivations of the god you worship and a description of one of the "failures" of his chosen people. Which, for reference, aint you.... it's Teh Jews.
NT god hasn't changed his mind on this, though "Paul" tries to change it for him. "Jesus" is every bit as tribal and ethnocentric; Do foreign bitches even deserve miracles, do you reckon? Probably not, but we can feed them scraps from our table.
So sayeth the lord.
God would like to do good to you, what is troubling you?
