How did Adoni-bezek treat his enemies?

Judges 1:7 (ESV)

7 And Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

That his enemies used to pick up scraps under his table is an indication that he treated them like dogs.
