1Now it cameH1961 about afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091 that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 1inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, “WhoH4310 shall goH5927 up firstH8462 for us 2againstH413 the CanaanitesH3669, to fightH3898 against them?” 2The LordH3068 saidH559, “3JudahH3063 shall goH5927 up; beholdH2009, I have givenH5414 the landH776 into his handH3027.” 3Then JudahH3063 saidH559 to SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, “ComeH5927 up with me into 4the territoryH1486 allottedH1486 me, that we may fightH3898 against the CanaanitesH3669; and 5I in turnH1571 will goH1980 with you into 6the territoryH1486 allottedH1486 you.” So SimeonH8095 wentH1980 with him. 4JudahH3063 wentH5927 up, and 7the LordH3068 gaveH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 into their handsH3027, and they 8defeatedH5221 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 at BezekH966. 5They foundH4672 Adoni-bezekH137 in BezekH966 and foughtH3898 against him, and they 9defeatedH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522. 6But Adoni-bezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291 him and caughtH270 him and cutH7112 offH7112 his 10thumbsH931 and bigH931 toesH931H7272. 7Adoni-bezekH137 saidH559, “SeventyH7657 kingsH4428 with their thumbsH931 and their bigH931 toesH931H7272 cutH7112 offH7112 used to gatherH3950 up scraps underH8478 my tableH7979; 11as I have doneH6213, soH3651 GodH430 has repaidH7999 me.” So they broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389 and he diedH4191 thereH8033.
