the only referece to the subject that I have is: 'though shall not kill'.
This one isn't as straight forward as it might seem. There's significant grey area (see Wikipedia page on thou shalt not kill) on the actual translation of the original Hebrew text. Turns out it may be the translation is closer to "thou shalt not murder"
The difference is significant in that it allows for legal war and potentially legal retribution. I'm not an expert on this but thought you might want to look into it.

God has the ultimate power over life and death and he delegates that authority to the civil magistrate for the sake of protecting its people through the administration of justice and declaration of war, with the lone exception of self-defense, which allows for the civilian or individual to take the life of an attacker in order to preserve life for themselves or others.
