2 And Yahweh said, “Judah will go up. I hereby give the land into his hand.”
3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Go up with me into my allotment, and let us fight against the Canaanites; then I too will go with you into your allotment.” And Simeon went with him.
4 And Judah went up, and Yahweh gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, and they defeated ten thousand men at Bezek.
5 At Bezek they came upon Adoni-bezek, and they fought against him and defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 And Adoni-bezek fled, but they pursued after him; they caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table; just as I have done, so God has repaid to me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 The descendants of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and they captured it, put it to the sword, and set the city on fire.
