Judges 1:1-7

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 askedH7592 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Who shall goH5927 upH5927 for usH413 firstH8462 againstH413 the CanaanitesH3669, to fightH3898 againstH413 them?

2And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall goH5927 upH5927: beholdH2009, I have deliveredH5414 the landH776 intoH776 his handH3027.

3And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto SimeonH8095 his brotherH251, ComeH1980 upH5927 with meH589 intoH1980 my lotH1486, that weH1980 may fightH3898 againstH854 the CanaanitesH3669; and I likewise will goH1980 with thee intoH1980 thy lotH1486. SoH1980 SimeonH8095 wentH1980 with him.

4And JudahH3063 wentH5927 upH5927; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 intoH376 their handH3027: and they smoteH5221 of them in BezekH966 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376.

5And they foundH4672 Adoni-bezekH137 in BezekH966: and they foughtH3898 againstH3898 him, and they smoteH5221 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522.

6But Adoni-bezekH137 fledH5127; and they pursuedH7291 afterH310 him, and caughtH270 him, and cutH7112 offH7112 his thumbsH931 and his great toesH931.

7And Adoni-bezekH137 saidH559, Threescore and ten kingsH4428, havingH1961 their thumbsH931 and their greatH430 toesH931 cutH7112 offH7112, gatheredH3950 their meat underH8478 my tableH7979: as I have doneH6213, soH3651 GodH430 hath requited meH935. And they broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191 there.
