d still, as Jonathan had commanded them:
and so the enemies' horses were tired.
1 Mac 10:82
Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the
footmen, (for the horsemen were spent) who were discomfited by
him, and fled.
1 Mac 10:83
The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to
Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's temple, for
safety.
1 Mac 10:84
But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round about
it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them
that were fled into it, he burned with fire.
1 Mac 10:85
Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well nigh
eight thousand men.
1 Mac 10:86
And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against
Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with
great pomp.
1 Mac 10:87
After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem,
having any spoils.
1 Mac 10:88
Now when king ALexander heard these things, he honoured
Jonathan yet more.
1 Mac 10:89

such as are of the king's blood: he gave him also Accaron with
the borders thereof in possession.
1 Mac 11:1
And the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, like
the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships, and went

so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king
Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his
brother in law.
1 Mac 11:3
Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set in every one
of them a garrison of soldiers to keep it.
1 Mac 11:4
And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple
of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that
were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them
that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them
by the way where he should pass.
1 Mac 11:5
Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to the
intent he might blame him: but the king held his peace.
1 Mac 11:6
Then Jonathan met the king with great pomp at Joppa, where

1 Mac 11:7

cities by the sea
