1This king was called Adoni-bezek which is a compound name, wherein the letter Jod is placed between two words as Malchi-sedech, Adoni-sedech, even as R. Selomo testifieth. This king seemeth to have fled, for that he saw his host both slain to the number of ten thousand men, and to turn their backs and fly, he would therefore save him self by flight, but he was brought back again by the Israelites and suffered most grievous punishment, as he had justly deserved.2 For they cut of the thumbs both of his hands and of his feet. This word Bohan signifieth in the Hebrew a thumb, & it is in the feminine gender, wherefore it is said in the plural number Behonoth. Although R. David Kimhi do interpret that word into fingers, and the Chaldee paraphrast doth interpret it ankles.
