Judges 1:4-8
4The men of Judah attacked, and the Lord handed the Canaanites and Perizzites over to them. They killed ten thousand men at Bezek.
5They met Adoni-Bezek at Bezek and fought him. They defeated the Canaanites and Perizzites.
6When Adoni-Bezek ran away, they chased him and captured him. Then they cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, with thumbs and big toes cut off, used to lick up food scraps under my table. God has repaid me for what I did to them.” They brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.
8The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and captured it. They put the sword to it and set the city on fire.
