17. And he said to the people: "Do not desire the spoils; for there is war before us.
18. And Gorgias and his army are near us on the mountain. But stand firm now against our enemies, and fight against them, and you shall take the spoils afterwards, securely."
19. And while Judas was speaking these words, behold, a certain part of them appeared, looking out from the mountain.
20. And Gorgias saw that his men were put to flight, and that they had set fire to the camp. For the smoke that he saw declared what had happened.
21. When they had seen this, they became very afraid, seeing at the same time both Judas and his army in the plains prepared to do battle.
22. So they all fled away into the encampment of the foreigners.
