TO make entrance into these verses which I have read, ye have 1heard how God gave victory: now it is showed more particularly, how the victory before mentioned, was gotten, the place being set down where the battle was fought, that is, in Bezek: and the King of the people is mentioned, who was Adonibezek, who fled in the battle, as being too weak, but was taken, and handled, as is set down in the text, to wit, he had the thumbs of his hands and feet cut off. Whether the men of Judah knew that he had so dealt with other, or no, or whether the Lord directed them so to do, without knowing any such thing, it is not expressed, but he himself confessed that he had done so to others, and that God had requited him with the like. That which was said of the Canaanites punishment, that it was inflicted upon them when their sin was grown ripe, may as truly be said of their King, as by his own confession may be gathered: but having spoken of that point already, I omit to say any more of it.

Whether the men of Iuda knew that he had so dealt with other, or no, or whether the Lord directed them so to doe, without knowing any such thing, it is not expressed, but he himselfe confessed that hee had done so to others, and that God had requited him with the like. That which was said of the Canaanites punishment, that it was inflicted vpon them when their sin was growne ripe, may as truly be said of their King, as by his owne confession may be gathered: but hauing spoken of that point alreadie, I omit to say any more of it.
