Adoni-Bezek
In the ''Book of Judges'' (1:4 - 7), Adoni-Bezek, ((ヘブライ語:אֲדֹנִי־בֶּ֫זֶק) ''’Ăḏōnî-Ḇezeq'', "lord of Bezek"), was a Canaanite king who, having subdued seventy of the chiefs that were around him, was attacked by the armies of Judah and Simeon. He was defeated.
==Mutilation==
Adoni-Bezek was known to the Israelites as a king who removed the large toes and thumbs of kings he subjugated to render them harmless as warriors, presumably so they could no longer wield weapons or run. After Joshua died,〔Bible Judges 1:1〕 the tribes of Judah and Simeon continued the Israelite conquest of Canaan by leading an army against this Canaanite king.〔Bible Judges 1:3〕 Employing the biblical law of "eye for an eye" they apparently did the same to Adoni-Bezek before sending him to Jerusalem as a slave.〔Bible Judges 1:6〕 Adoni-Bezek is recorded as saying, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off, used to pick up scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has repaid me." 〔Bible Judges 1:7 ESV〕
