- Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
- Then Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
- The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
- After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negev and the western foothills.
- They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron (formerly called Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.

- But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
- And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
- Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
- And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
- And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
