Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 1:5-6

_ _ Bezek — This place lay within the domain of Judah, about twelve miles south of Jerusalem.

_ _ found Adoni-bezek — that is, “lord of Bezek” — he was “found,” that is, surprised and routed in a pitched battle, whence he fled; but being taken prisoner, he was treated with a severity unusual among the Israelites, for they “cut off his thumbs and great toes.” Barbarities of various kinds were commonly practiced on prisoners of war in ancient times, and the object of this particular mutilation of the hands and feet was to disable them for military service ever after. The infliction of such a horrid cruelty on this Canaanite chief would have been a foul stain on the character of the Israelites if there were not reason for believing it was done by them as an act of retributive justice, and as such it was regarded by Adoni-bezek himself, whose conscience read his atrocious crimes in their punishment.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 1:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 1:5

Adoni — bezek — The lord or king of Bezek; as his name signifies. In Bezek — Whither he fled when he lost the field. Against him — That is, against the city wherein he had encamped himself, and the rest of his army.
