First of all, every passage that you quoted is God delivering judgment upon a group of people for a reason. Only one of those, Samuel 15:1-3 actually involves the Israelite being told to kill them, and the reason was "I (God) remember that which amalek did to Israel, how he laid in wait for him in the way when he came up from" Egypt" The Jews were not given orders to go out and slaughter the Infidels. Also, nowhere in the New Testament is there any order to kill all who will not convert. There have been Christian who have done this, but that was not because they were trying to obey God, but rather because they wanted land.

I know there is a context, but I still don't believe God ordered or inspired people to kill children and babies and leave virgins alive.
