Apart from the fact that these references are few and far between in the Bible, there's the New Testament which represents Christianity today. The Old Testament, from which you quote (Exodus, Proverbs, Samuel) is mostly referred to in an historical context. There is no church anywhere today that uses those verses to define Christian behavior or preaches any form of violence whatsoever against non-believers.
