 The cutting off the the thumbs and great toes of Adoni Bezek.
Judges 1:6,7


But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.  And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me.  And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.  (KJV)
