After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel consulted the Lord, saying: Who shall go up before us against the Chanaanite, and shall be the leader of the war? 2And the Lord said: Juda shall go up: behold I have delivered the land into his hands. 3And Juda said to Simeon, his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him. 4And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men. 5And they found Adonibezec in Bezec, and fought against him, and they defeated the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite. 6And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes. 7And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings, having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
