Ezekiel 18:4 doesn’t say to kill. It says they’ll die, but that’s more in an existential afterlife sense.
Edit: Also, God does the killing in 1 Samuel 6:19–20.
This feels like a bit of a Gish gallop. The Bible “commanding us” to kill someone and God killing someone are two very different things within the Bible. (Which the Bible already commands us to kill enough people that I don’t know why the list decided to use flimsy examples like this.)

Oh thank you for saying that. I was really worried I might have gotten curious about that second one there.
Edit: Also, the kill all males after combat, I assume they mean the ones who partook right. Or is it just those that lose?
Kill the men and boys. Kill women, but do as you wish to them first. Kidnap the girls, but check to make sure they are virgins first.
