Judges 1:1-7

Matthew(i) 1 After the death of Iosua the children of Israel asked the Lord saying Who shal go vp first vnto the Cananites to fyghte agaynst them? 2 And the Lorde sayde: Iuda shall go vp: beholde I haue delyuered the land into hys handes. 3 Then Iuda sayde vnto Simeon hys brother: come wyth me into my lotte, and let vs fyghte agaynste the Cananites: And I lykewyse wil go with the into thy lotte. And so Simeon wente wyth hym. 4 And Iuda went vp, and the Lord deliuered the Cananites and Pheresites into theyr handes. And they slewe of them in Bezek .x. thousand men. 5 And they found Adonibezek in Bezek. And they fought against him, & slewe the Cananites & Pheresites. 6 But Adonibezek fled, and they folowed after him, & caught him, and cut of hys thombes and hys greate toes. 7 Then Adonibezek sayd: thre score & .x. kynges hauynge theyr thombes & greate toes cut of, gathered theyr meate vnder my table: wherfore as I haue done so, God hath done to me agayne. And they brought him to Ierusalem and there he dyed.
