New Testament

Judges 1:6-11 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. When Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, seized 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. God has repaid me for what I have done.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8. The men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.

9. Afterward, the men of Judah marched down to fight against the Canaanites who were living in the hill country, the Negev, and the Judean foothills.

10. Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (Hebron was formerly named Kiriath-arba ). They struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11. From there they marched against the residents of Debir (Debir was formerly named Kiriath-sepher).
