69. Then those in ambush rose out of their places and joined in the battle.
70. All of Jonathan’s men fled; no one stayed except the army commanders Mattathias, son of Absalom, and Judas, son of Chalphi.
71. Jonathan tore his clothes, threw dust on his head, and prayed.
72. Then he went back to the battle and routed them, and they fled.
73. Those of his men who were running away saw it and returned to him; and with him they pursued the enemy as far as their camp in Kadesh, and there they encamped.
74. About three thousand of the foreign troops fell on that day. Then Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.
