CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it comes to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel ask at Yahweh, saying, `Who does go up for us unto the Canaanite, at the commencement, to fight against it?. ² And Yahweh said, `Judah does go up; lo, I have given the land into his hand.. ³ And Judah said to Simeon his brother, `Go up with me into my lot, and we fight against the Canaanite--and I have gone, even I, with you into your lot;' and Simeon goes with him. ⁴ And Judah goes up, and Yahweh gives the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand, and they smite them in Bezek--ten thousand men;" ⁵ and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and smite the Canaanite and the Perizzite. ⁶ And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes, ⁷ and Adoni-Bezek said, `Seventy kings--their thumbs and their great toes cut off--have been gathering under my table; as I have done so has Elohim repaid to me;' and they bring him in to Jerusalem, and he dies there.
