1 Maccabees 4:22

22 They ran away into the land of the Philistines.

1 Maccabees 4:22 In-Context

20 They saw that their army had been put to flight and that the Jews were burning the camp, as evident from the smoke over the area.

21 When they saw the devastation and noticed Judas' army in the plain ready for battle, they were terrified.

22 They ran away into the land of the Philistines.

23 So Judas went back to plunder the camp. His army took a great amount of gold and silver, cloth that was dyed blue and purple, and great riches.

24 As they returned, they sang hymns and songs of praise to heaven: "God is good, because his mercy endures forever."
