61
And Jonathan's men seized about fifty of the men of the country who were leaders in this treachery, and killed them.
62
Then Jonathan with his men, and Simon, withdrew to Bethbasi in the wilderness; he rebuilt the parts of it that had been demolished, and they fortified it.
63
When Bacchides learned of this, he assembled all his forces, and sent orders to the men of Judea.
64
Then he came and encamped against Bethbasi; he fought against it for many days and made machines of war.
65
But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the town, while he went out into the country; and he went with only a few men.
66
He struck down Odomera and his kindred and the people of Phasiron in their tents.
67
Then he began to attack and went into battle with his forces; and Simon and his men sallied out from the town and set fire to the machines of war.
68
They fought with Bacchides, and he was crushed by them. They pressed him very hard, for his plan and his expedition had been in vain.
69
So he was very angry at the renegades who had counseled him to come into the country, and he killed many of them. Then he decided to go back to his own land.
70
When Jonathan learned of this, he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him and obtain release of the captives.
71
He agreed, and did as he said; and he swore to Jonathan that he would not try to harm him as long as he lived.
