Now it
came about
after the
death of
Joshua that the
sons of
Israel inquired of the
LORD,
saying,
"Who shall
go up
first for us
against the
Canaanites, to
fight against them?"

The
LORD said,
"Judah shall
go up;
behold, I have
given the
land into his
hand."

Then
Judah said to
Simeon his
brother,
"Come up with me into the
territory allotted me, that we may
fight against the
Canaanites; and I in
turn will
go with you into the
territory allotted you." So
Simeon went with him.

Judah went up, and the
LORD gave the
Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their
hands, and they
defeated ten thousand men at
Bezek.

They
found Adoni-bezek in

fought against him, and they
defeated the
Canaanites and the

But
Adoni-bezek fled; and they
pursued him and
caught him and
cut off his
thumbs and
big toes *.
