, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them
upon a three thousand men.

1 Mac 4:16
This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing
them,

1 Mac 4:17
And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch
as there is a battle before us,

1 Mac 4:18
And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but
stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after
this ye may boldly take the spoils.

1 Mac 4:19
As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part
of them looking out of the mountain:

1 Mac 4:20
Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to
flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen
declared what was done:

1 Mac 4:21
When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore
afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to
fight,

1 Mac 4:22
They fled every one into the land of strangers.

1 Mac 4:23
Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got much
gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and
great riches.

1 Mac 4:24
After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving,
and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his
mercy endureth forever.

1 Mac 4:25
Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day.

1 Mac 4:26
Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias
what had happened:

1 Mac 4:27
Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged,
because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel,
nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.

1 Mac 4:28
The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together
threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand
horsemen, that he might subdue them.

1 Mac 4:29
So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at
Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.

1 Mac 4:30
And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed
art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of
the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the
host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul,
and his armourbearer;

1 Mac 4:31
Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let
them be confounded in their power and horsemen:

1 Mac 4:32
Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of
their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their
destruction:

1 Mac 4:33
Cast them down wit
