The commandment, "thou shalt not kill," correctly translated from Hebrew reads, "thou shall not murder." The Bible distinguishes war, neglegent homicide, self-defense, murder, etc. from each other. The problem is that you read it in isolation - if the Bible were but one verse - thou shalt not kill - then you might have a case to make, but you just as the commandment is located in Exodus, Chapter 20, merely a chapter later (21) Moses proscribes the death penalty for a variety of offenses. Indeed, Moses proscribes the death penalty in Deuteronomy.
