Judges 1:5-7

5While at Bezek they encountered King Adoni-bezek and fought against him, and the Canaanites and Perizzites were defeated.

6Adoni-bezek escaped, but the Israelites soon captured him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

7Adoni-bezek said, “I once had seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off, eating scraps from under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.” They took him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
