58 So they and their men attacked Jamnia.
59 Gorgias and his men went out of the town to meet them in battle.
60 They defeated Joseph and Azariah and pursued them as far as the borders of Judea. At least 2,000 Israelite men were killed that day.
61 This great defeat came about because the Jewish commanders wanted to be heroes and refused to obey Judas and his brothers.
62 Besides, they did not belong to the family of the Maccabees, whom God had chosen to bring freedom to the people of Israel.
