Judges 1:2-7

2“JudahH3063 shall go upH5927,” answeredH559 the LORDH3068. “IndeedH2009, I have deliveredH5414 the landH776 into their handsH3027.”

3Then the men of JudahH3063 saidH559 to their brothersH251 the SimeonitesH8095, “Come upH5927 with usH854 to our allotted territoryH1486, and let us fightH3898 against the CanaanitesH3669. And weH589 likewiseH1571 will goH1980 with youH854 to your territoryH1486.” So the SimeonitesH8095 wentH1980 with themH854.

4When JudahH3063 attackedH5927, the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 and PerizzitesH6522 into their handsH3027, and they struck downH5221 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 at BezekH966. 5AndH966 there they foundH4672 Adoni-bezekH137 and foughtH3898 against him, striking downH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and PerizzitesH6522.

6As Adoni-bezekH137 fledH5127, they pursued himH7291H310, seized himH270, and cut offH7112 his thumbsH931H3027 and big toesH7272. 7Then Adoni-bezekH137 saidH559, “SeventyH7657 kingsH4428 with their thumbsH931H3027 and big toesH7272 cut offH7112H1961 have gatheredH3950 the scraps underH8478 my tableH7979. AsH834 I have doneH6213 to them, soH3651 GodH430 has repaidH7999 me.” And they brought himH935 to JerusalemH3389, where he diedH4191H8033.
