⁷ Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings whose thumbs and big toes had been cut off used to eat scraps that fell from my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.” The men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.

⁸ Then the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They attacked with their swords and burned the city.

⁹ Later, they went down to fight the Canaanites who lived in the mountains, in the dry country to the south, and in the western hills.
