“From whence they removed, and went to Berea, with twenty thousand footmen and two thousand horsemen.”
Context
1Furthermore, when Demetrius heard the Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host:
2Who went forth by the way that leadeth to Galgala, and pitched their tents before Masaloth, which is in Arbela, and after they had won it, they slew much people.
3Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second year they encamped before Jerusalem:
4From whence they removed, and went to Berea, with twenty thousand footmen and two thousand horsemen.
5Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him:
6Who seeing the multitude of the other army to he so great were sore afraid; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of the host, insomuch as abode of them no more but eight hundred men.
7When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.
