Judges 1:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 Adoni-bezek fled away, but they chased after him and caught him, cutting off his thumbs and his big toes. 7 Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings who had their thumbs and big toes cut off used to scrounge for their meals under my table. God has paid me back for what I have done.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 The Judahites fought against Jerusalem and they captured it, putting it to the sword and setting the city on fire.[a]
