31. They gave them thanks exhorting them to be still friendly to their nation, and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks being at hand.
32. And after Pentecost they marched against Gorgias the governor of Idumea.
33. And he came out with three thousand footmen, and four hundred horsemen.
34. And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain.
35. But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa.
