ADONI-BEZEK (perhaps a corrupted form of Adoni-zedek, Jos_10:1-27).A king of Bezek (a different place from that mentioned in 1Sa_11:8), who was defeated by Simeon and Judah. The mutilation inflicted upon himthe cutting off of the thumbs and great toeswas in order to render him harmless, while retaining him as a trophy; but he died on reaching Jerusalem. Adoni-bezek boasted of having mutilated seventy kings in a similar manner. The passage (Jdg_1:5-7) which speaks of Adoni-bezek does not appear to be intact; the original form probably gave more details.

("Lord of Bezek", a city of Canaan.) Leading the confederated Canaanites and Perizzites, he was conquered by Judah and Simeon, who cut off his thumbs and great toes. Conscience struck, he confessed that 70 kings (petty princes) had gleaned (margin) their meat under his table, deprived of thumbs and great toes: "As I have done, so God hath requited me" (Jdg_1:4-7). Brought a prisoner to Jerusalem, he died there. God pays sinners in their own coin (1Sa_15:33). Judah was not giving vent to his own cruelty, but executing God's lex talionis (Lev_24:19; Rev_16:6; Pro_1:31). The barbarity of Canaanite war usage's appears in his conduct. The history shows that Canaan was then parceled out among a number of petty chiefs.

Adoni-bezek
(Heb. Adoni-Bezek, אֲדנַיאּבֶזֶק, lord of Bezek; Sept. Α᾿δωνιβέζεκ), a chieftain of Bezek (q.v.), who had subdued seventy of the petty kings around him, and, after barbarously cutting off their thumbs and great toes, had compelled them, to gather their food under his table (Jdg_1:5-7). Elated with this success, he ventured, at the head of the confederate Ganaanites and Perizzites, to attack the army of the tribes of Judah and Simeon, after the death of Joshua; but was himself defeated, captured, and served in the same manner as he had treated his own captives a fate which his conscience compelled him to acknowledge as a righteous retribution for his inhumanity. He died of these wounds at Jerusalem, whither he was taken, B.C. cir. 1590. (See Kittos Daily Bible Illust. in loc.; and comp. AElian, Var. Hist. 2, 9)
