Judges 1:1-7

1And it came to pass after the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091, that the children of IsraelH3478 askedH7592 of Jehovah, sayingH559, Who shall goH5927 up for us firstH8462 against the CanaanitesH3669, to fightH3898 against them? 2And Jehovah saidH559, JudahH3063 shall goH5927 up: behold, I have delivered the landH776 into his handH3027. 3And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, ComeH1980 up with me into my lotH1486, that we may fightH3898 against the CanaanitesH3669; and I likewise will goH1980 with thee into thy lotH1486. So SimeonH8095 wentH1980 with him. 4And JudahH3063 wentH5927 up; and Jehovah delivered the CanaanitesH3669 and the Perizzites into their handH3027: and they smote of them in BezekH966 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376. 5And they foundH4672 Adoni-bezekH137 in BezekH966; and they foughtH3898 against him, and they smote the CanaanitesH3669 and the Perizzites. 6But Adoni-bezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291 after him, and caught him, and cutH7112 off his thumbsH931 and his great toesH931. 7And Adoni-bezekH137 saidH559, Threescore and ten kingsH4428, having their thumbsH931 and their great toesH931 cutH7112 off, gatheredH3950 their food under my tableH7979: as I have done, soH3651 GodH430 hath requited me. And they broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191 there.
