5. And Gorgias came by night, into the camp of Judas, and found no one, and he sought them in the mountains. For he said, "These men flee from us."
6. And when it had become day, Judas appeared in the plain with only three thousand men, who had neither armor nor swords.
7. And they saw the strength of the camp of the Gentiles, and the men in armor, and the horsemen surrounding them, and that these were trained to fight.
8. And Judas said to the men who were with him: "Do not be afraid of their multitude, and do not dread their attack.
9. Remember in what way salvation came to our fathers in the Red Sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with a great army.
10. And now, let us cry out to heaven, and the Lord will have mercy on us, and he will remember the covenant of our fathers, and he will crush this army before our face this day.
11. And all nations shall know that there is One who redeems and frees Israel."
12. And the foreigners lifted up their eyes, and they saw them coming against them.
13. And they went out of the camp into battle, and those who were with Judas sounded the trumpet.
14. And they came together. And the Gentiles were crushed, and they fled into the plains.
15. But the last of them all fell by the sword, and they pursued them even to Gazara, and even to the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia. And there fell from them as many as three thousand men.
16. And Judas returned, with his army following him.
