32He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.
33So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.
34Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.
35This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; and after he had assaulted it he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and and burnt it with fire.
36From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.
37After these things gathered Timotheus another host and encamped against Raphon beyond the brook.
