61. And they that were of Jonathan’s part laid hands on about fifty of the men of the country, that were authors of the wickedness, and he killed them.
62. And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and he built up that which had been pulled down thereof, and they made it strong.
63. And Bacchides knew it, and he gathered together all his multitude, and sent word to them that were of Judaea.
64. And he went and encamped against Bethbasi, and fought against it many days, and made engines of war.
65. And Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country, and he went with a few men.
66. And he struck Odomera and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.
67. And they began to strike them, and to go up with their forces. And Simon and they that were with him went out of the city, and set on fire the engines of war,
68. and fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore; for his counsel was in vain, and his inroad.
69. And they were very angry with the lawless men that gave him counsel to come into the country, and they killed many of them. And he took counsel to depart into his own land.
70. And Jonathan had knowledge thereof, and sent ambassadors to him, to the end that they should make peace with him, and that he should restore to them the captives.
71. And he accepted the thing, and did according to his words, and sware to him that he would not seek his hurt all the days of his life.
72. And he restored to him the captives which he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judah, and he returned and departed into his own land, and came not any more into their borders.
73. And the sword ceased from Israel. And Jonathan lived at Michmash; and Jonathan began to judge the people; and he destroyed the ungodly out of Israel.
