Adoni-zedek is the king of Jerusalem who leads resistance against Israel after Gibeon's treaty with Joshua. He is one of the most prominent coalition rulers in the southern conquest narrative. First appears in Josh 10:1.1
AI summary: Adoni-zedek matters because the cross references place him at the head of a coordinated attempt to stop Israel's advance and punish Gibeon for making peace.
