6 And Adonibezec fled: and they pursued after him and took him, and cut off his fingers and toes.

6 Adoni-bezek fled; but they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

7 Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has paid me back." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
