Verse 8 is found in chapter 1 of Judges. Judah defeats the Canaanites and captures Jerusalem, while Adoni-bezek is taken prisoner. The punishment inflicted on this king mirrors his own method of humiliating other rulers. His confession acknowledges that he is receiving retribution for what he had done. The episode presents a view of retributive justice within the wars of conquest and shows that former oppressors can be subjected to the same methods they once employed.
