Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Bezek. The site of it is unknown; it is thought to be a different place from the Bezek of 1 Samuel 11:8. Adoni-bezek means the lord of Bezek. He was the conqueror of seventy petty kings.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) They found.--The expression perhaps alludes to the suddenness of their march, which enabled them to take the lord of Bezek by surprise.Adoni-bezek.--This is not a proper name, but a title, meaning "lord of Bezek," as Adoni-zedek, in Joshua 10:1, and perhaps Melchi-zedek, in Genesis 14:18.They slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.--This seems to refer to a second battle, or perhaps to the slaughter in the city after the battle described in the last verse.
