When Israel asks who should go first to fight the Canaanites after Joshuas death, the lot falls to Judah — and together with Simeon they defeat the cruel king Adoni-bezek and capture Jerusalem, Hebron, and Debir.
After the death of Joshua, the people of Israel asked the Lord which tribe should go up first to fight against the Canaanites (Judges 1:1). The Lord said, "Judah shall go up." Judah invited Simeon to join in the campaign, and together they struck down ten thousand Canaanites and Perizzites at Bezek (Judges 1:4-5). They captured the cruel king Adoni-bezek and inflicted on him the same brutality he had inflicted on seventy other defeated kings — cutting off his thumbs and big toes so he could not grasp a sword or stand in battle.
