When those on the left wing saw that the right wing was crushed, they turned and followed close behind Judas and his men.
17
The battle became desperate, and many on both sides were wounded and fell.
18
Judas also fell, and the rest fled.
19
Then Jonathan and Simon took their brother Judas and buried him in the tomb of their ancestors at Modein,
20
and wept for him. All Israel made great lamentation for him; they mourned many days and said,
21
"How is the mighty fallen, the savior of Israel!"
22
Now the rest of the acts of Judas, and his wars and the brave deeds that he did, and his greatness, have not been recorded, but they were very many.
23
After the death of Judas, the renegades emerged in all parts of Israel; all the wrongdoers reappeared.
24
In those days a very great famine occurred, and the country went over to their side.
25
Bacchides chose the godless and put them in charge of the country.

They made inquiry and searched for the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, who took vengeance on them and made sport of them.
