5:14. And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came
other messengers out of Galilee with their garments rent, who related
according to these words:
5:15. Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were
assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in
order to consume us.
5:16. Now when Judas and the people heard these words, a great assembly
met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that
were in trouble, and were assaulted by them.
5:17. And Judas said to Simon, his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and
deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan, will go
into the country of Galaad:
5:18. And he left Joseph, the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of
the people, with the remnant of the army in Judea, to keep it:
5:19. And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people;
but make no war against the heathens, till we return.
5:20. Now three thousand men were allotted to Simon, to go into Galilee:
and eight thousand to Judas, to go into the land of Galaad.
5:21. And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the
heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he
pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais.
5:22. And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he
took the spoils of them.
5:23. And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis,
with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought
them into Judea with great joy.
5:24. And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan, his brother, passed over the
Jordan, and went three days' journey through the desert.
5:25. And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable
manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of
Galaad,
5:26. And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in
Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim; all these strong
and great cities.
5:27. Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of
Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow
near to these cities, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one
day.
5:28. Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the
desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge
of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire.
5:29. And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to
the fortress.
5:30. And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up
their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders
and engines to take the fortress, and assault them.
5:31. And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle
went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city:
5:32. And he said to his host: Fight ye today for your brethren.
5:33. And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded
their trumpets, and cried out in prayer.
5:34. And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and
they fled away before his face and they made a great slaughter of them,
and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men.
5:35. And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and
he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it
with fire.
5:36. From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor,
and the rest of the cities of Galaad.
