Judges 1:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ The king ran away, but the Israelites caught him. They cut off his thumbs and his big toes.

⁷ King Adoni-Bezek said, ‘God has punished me because I did the same thing to 70 other kings. I cut off their thumbs and big toes. I made them pick up bits of food to eat under my table.’ The Israelites took King Adoni-Bezek back to Jerusalem. He died there.

⁸ Judah's army then attacked Jerusalem. They took the city for themselves. They killed the people who lived there and they burnt down the buildings.
