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.
23. And Judas returned to take the spoils of the camp, and they obtained much gold and silver, and hyacinth, and purple of the sea, and great riches.
24. And returning, they sang a canticle, and they blessed God in heaven, because he is good, because his mercy is with every generation.
25. And so, a great salvation occurred in Israel in that day.
26. But those among the foreigners who escaped went and reported to Lysias all that had happened.
