12
And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets:
13
And they also were on Judas' side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening.
14
And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him:
15
And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus.
16
And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back:
17
And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other.
18
And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away.
19
And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin.
20
And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days.
21
And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel!
22
But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many.
