Judges

Judges 1:4–7

⁴When Judah attacked, the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek. ⁵And there they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking down the Canaanites and Perizzites. ⁶As Adoni-bezek

fled, they pursued him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes. ⁷Then Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have gathered the scraps under my table. As I have done to them, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.
