Judges 1:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And they found [a]Adoni-Bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and slew the Canaanites, and the Perizzites.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and caught him, and [b]cut off the thumbs of his hands and of his feet.
7 And Adoni-Bezek said, Seventy Kings having the thumbs of their hands and of their feet cut off, gathered bread under my table: as I have done, so God hath rewarded me, so they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
