Judges 1:1-8

1
After the death of Y'hoshua, the people of Isra'el asked ADONAI, "Who will go up for us first to fight against the Kena'ani?"
2
ADONAI said: "Y'hudah will go up; here, I have handed the land over to him."
3
Y'hudah said to his brother Shim'on, "Come up with me into my assigned territory, so that we can fight against the Kena'ani; and I likewise will go with you into your territory." So Shim'on went with him.
4
Y'hudah went up; and ADONAI gave the Kena'ani and the P'rizi into their hands; of those in Bezek they killed ten thousand men.
5
They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him. They killed the Kena'ani and the P'rizi,
6
but Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7
Adoni-Bezek said: "Seventy kings, with their thumbs and their big toes cut off, gathered food under my table; God has paid me back in accordance with what I did." They brought him to Yerushalayim, and he died there.
8
Then the people of Y'hudah fought against Yerushalayim, captured it, overpowered it with the sword, and set the city on fire.
