In context,
Deut 21:20 shows that the “boy” was a “grown man” who was stubborn, rebellious, will not obey his parents, who is a glutton and a drunkard.
The Law required that “both” parents be in agreement, bringing the child to the elders of the city. The elders judge the matter according to the Law of Moses, i.e.,
Exodus 20:12;
Exo. 21:15,
Exo. 21:17;
Lev. 20:9.
This isn’t much different than a policeman apprehending a suspect, bringing him to the courts for judgment and sentencing. Apparently, this “grown man” was a nuisance to society.
Today, we have the media and families calling a “thug” a gentle giant and vocally crying out against the policeman who put him down because he was a nuisance and danger to society, i.e. Ferguson, MO.
And who were these heathen nations that Israel fought against in order to survive as a nation?
They were nations who were killing children in human/child sacrifice, who were forcing young men and women into perverted sexual rituals to worship false gods who were” made of silver and gold, made by human hands, mouths that cannot speak, eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear, no breath in their mouths. And those that make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.”
Psalm 135:15-18
