Judges 1:2-7

2And YhwhH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go upH5927: behold, I have deliveredH5414 the landH776 into his handH3027.

3And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, Come upH5927 with me into my lotH1486, that we may fightH3898 against the CanaanitesH3669; and I likewise will goH1980 with thee into thy lotH1486. So SimeonH8095 wentH3212 with him.

4And JudahH3063 went upH5927; And YhwhH3068 deliveredH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 into their handH3027: and they slewH5221 of them in BezekH966 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376.

5And they foundH4672 Adoni–bezekH137 in BezekH966: and they foughtH3898 against him, and they slewH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522.

6But Adoni–bezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291 afterH310 him, and caughtH270 him, and cut offH7112 his thumbsH3027 H931 and his great toesH7272.

7And Adoni–bezekH137 saidH559, Threescore and tenH7657 kingsH4428, having their thumbsH3027 H931 and their great toesH7272 cut offH7112, gatheredH3950 their meat under my tableH7979: as I have doneH6213, so GodH430 hath requitedH7999 me. And they broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and there he diedH4191.1 2
