Judges 1:3-7

3Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into 1the territory allotted me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and 2I in turn will go with you into 3the territory allotted you.” So Simeon went with him. 4Judah went up, and 4the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, and they 5defeated ten thousand men at Bezek. 5They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek and fought against him, and they 6defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 6But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his 7thumbs and big toes. 7Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to gather up scraps under my table; 8as I have done, so God has repaid me.” So they brought him to Jerusalem and he died there.
