26. But the strangers, as many as had escaped, came and told Lysias all the things that had happened:
27. but when he heard thereof, he was confounded and discouraged, because neither had such things as he would been done to Israel, nor had such things as the king commanded him come to pass.
28. And in the next year he gathered together threescore thousand chosen footmen, and five thousand horse, that he might subdue them.
29. And they came into Idumaea, and encamped at Bethsura; and Judas met them with ten thousand men.
30. And he saw that the army was strong, and he prayed and said, Blessed are you, O Saviour of Israel, who did quell the onset of the mighty man by the hand of your servant David, and did deliver the army of the Philistines into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and of his armor bearer:
31. shut up this army in the hand of your people Israel, and let them be ashamed for their host and their horsemen:
32. give them faintness of heart, and cause the boldness of their strength to melt away, and let them quake at their destruction:
33. cast them down with the sword of them that love you, and let all that know your name praise you with thanksgiving.
34. And they joined battle; and there fell of the army of Lysias about five thousand men, and they fell down over against them.
