<p> Adonibe´zek (lord of Bezek), king or lord of Bezek, a town which [[Eusebius]] places 17 miles east of [[Neapolis]] or Shechem. The small extent of the kingdoms in and around [[Palestine]] at the time of its invasion by the Hebrews is shown by the fact that this petty king had subdued no less than seventy of them; and the barbarity of the war-usages in those early times is painfully shown by his cutting off all the thumbs and great toes of his prisoners, and allowing them no food but that which they gathered under his table.

These conquests made Adonibezek 'a triton among the minnows;' and we find him at the head of the confederated Canaanites and Perizzites, against whom the tribes of Judah and [[Simeon]] marched after the death of Joshua. His army was routed and himself taken prisoner. The victors failed not to express their indignation at the mode in which he had treated his captives, by dealing with him in the same manner. </p> | ||

Being brought to Jerusalem, he died there ( Judges 1:5-7 ). This not to be confused with Adonizedek, as in the Septuagint. This is quite another name. </p> | <p> ''''' a ''''' - ''''' dō ''''' - ''''' nı̄ ''''' - ''''' bē´zek ''''' ( אדניבזק , <i> ''''' 'ădhōnı̄bhezeḳ ''''' </i> "lord of Bezek"): Lord of a town, Bezek, in southern Palestine, whom the tribes of Judah and Simeon overthrew.
