His name means "lord of Bezek," indicating his rule over the city of Bezek. He is known for his cruel treatment of seventy kings, whom he mutilated by cutting off their thumbs and big toes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, kings often demonstrated their power and dominance through acts of cruelty and subjugation. The mutilation of captured kings by Adoni-bezeq was a way to humiliate and incapacitate them, preventing them from wielding weapons or fleeing effectively. This practice reflects the brutal nature of warfare and power struggles during the period of the Judges.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/113.htm">adon</a> and <a href="/hebrew/966.htm">Bezeq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"lord of Bezek," a ruler in Canaan<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Adoni-bezek (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲדֹנִיבֶֿ֫זֶק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (or title) <font size="+1"><b>king of Canaanite city Bezek</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-7.htm">Judges 1:7</a>;
