New Testament

Judges 1:5-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fought against him; and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6. Then Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

7. And Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me.” Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

8. Now the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it; they struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.
