Well they were at war with people whom started the fight against them, so it's saying those whom turn on their backs and go back to fighting you, you can kill them, but those whom decide not to fight you either because their people have an alliance with you or their hearts shrink for killing their own people, then don't kill them, then it's summarized so no one misunderstands "therefore if they withdraw from you (leave the religion) and do not fight you rather offer you peace, then there is no way against them"
