12
Bacchides was on the right wing. Flanked by the two companies, the phalanx advanced to the sound of the trumpets; and the men with Judas also blew their trumpets.
13
The earth was shaken by the noise of the armies, and the battle raged from morning until evening.
14
Judas saw that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right; then all the stouthearted men went with him,
15
and they crushed the right wing, and he pursued them as far as Mount Azotus.
16
When those on the left wing saw that the right wing was crushed, they turned and followed close behind Judas and his men.
