36. From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad.
37. But after this Timotheus gathered another army, and camped over against Raphon beyond the torrent.
38. And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great:
39. And they have hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the torrent, ready to come to fight against thee. And Judas went to meet them.
40. And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us.
41. But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them and shall prevail against him.
42. Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle.
