1 And it will be after the death of Joshua, and the sons of Israel will ask of Jehovah, saying, Who will go up for us against the Canaanites in the beginning to war against them? 2 And Jehovah will say, Judah shall go up: behold, I gave the land into his hand. 3 And Judah will say to Simeon his brother, Go up with me into my lot, and we will fight against the Canaanite; and I also went up with thee into thy lot, and Simeon will go with him. 4 And Judah will go up, and Jehovah will give the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand; and they will smite them in Bezek, ten thousand men, 5 And they will find lord Bezek in Bezek: and they will war against him, and will smite the Canaanite and the Perizzite. 6 And lord Bezek will flee, and they will pursue after him and take him; and they will cut off the thumbs of his hands and of his feet. 7 And lord Bezek will say, Seventy kings with the thumbs of their hands and their feet being cut off, were gathering under my table; as I did so God requited me. And they will bring him to Jerusalem, and he will die there. Judges 1:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
