Judges 1:2-7

2The Lord answered, “Judah is to go. I have handed the land over to him.”

3Judah said to his brother Simeon, “Come with me to my allotted territory, and let’s fight against the Canaanites. I will also go with you to your allotted territory.” So Simeon went with him.

4When Judah attacked, the Lord handed the Canaanites and Perizzites over to them. They struck down ten thousand men in Bezek.

5They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek, fought against him, and struck down the Canaanites and Perizzites.

6When Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

7Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table. God has repaid me for what I have done.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
