After mention made of the victory it is here more expressed by parts, for the place of the battle is expressed namely Bezek: 1but where this Bezek should lye it is not very certain. For there was a certain Bezek which was a city belonging to the tribe of Manasseh which was situate 17. mile from Shechem as ye go to Bethsan. 2And Jerome testifieth that in his time there were two Townes which were called by this name. And it is not very likely that Judah and Simeon would pass with their host to the tribe of Manasseh, when their purpose was only to rid the Canaanites out of their own lots. Unless peradventure, that king which was called Adonibezek although his kingdom were in the tribe of Manasseh claimed and usurped by violent tyranny many places in the inheritance ⟨image 18⟩of Judah and Simeon. This king had prepared an host to go against Judah and Simeon, and to let them from recovering of their own. Which thing being known, Judah and Simeon made toward him, that he should not enter into their borders. Wherefore it chanced that they fought with him not far from his kingly city Bezek, or else it is to be thought that this Bezek was a certain city either in the tribe of Judah or else of Simeon, whereof is no mention made in any other place.
