4 Judah’s troops went into battle, and the Lord handed the Canaanites and Perizzites over to them. They defeated 10,000 men at Bezek.
5 At Bezek they also caught up with Adoni Bezek. They fought him and defeated the Canaanites and Perizzites.
6 Adoni Bezek fled. Judah’s troops chased him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 Adoni Bezek said, “Seventy kings who had their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up food under my table. God has paid me back for what I did to them.” Judah’s troops brought Adoni Bezek to Jerusalem, where he died.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and captured it. They killed everyone there and set the city on fire.
9 After that, the men of Judah went to fight the Canaanites who lived in the mountains, the Negev, and the foothills.
10 Then they went to fight the Canaanites who lived at Hebron. (In the past Hebron was called Kiriath Arba.) There they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
