‘ And they found Adonibezek in Bezek, and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.'
Adonibezek (‘my lord is Bezek') was a powerful local king, mentioned because he was seen as a dangerous foe. But like the others he could not stand up to the onslaught of Judah and Simeon. ‘They smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.' Their campaign was in general successful.
