Judges 1:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 1:7

5 And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

7 And Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; ^aas I have done, so God has repaid me.” Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

8 Now ^athe children of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it; they struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.

9 ^aAnd afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the¹ South, and in the lowland.
