- 2Yahweh said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
- 3Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot. So Simeon went with him.
- 4Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
- 5They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
- 6But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
- 7Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [supplied: their food] under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
