5. And Gorgias came by night into the camp of Judas, and found no man, and he sought them in the mountains: for he said: These men flee from us.
6. And when it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men only, who neither had armour nor swords.
7. And they saw the camp of the Gentiles that it was strong, and the men in breastplates, and the horsemen round about them, and these were trained up to war.
8. And Judas said to the men that were with him: Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.
