61
Therefore Jonathan and his company took from the men of the country, who were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons and slew them.
62
Afterwards Jonathan and Simon and those who were with them got away unto Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness; and they repaired the ruins thereof and made it strong.
63
When Bacchides found this out, he gathered together all his host and sent word to those who were of Judea.
64
Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season, and made engines of war.
65
But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city and went forth himself into the country; and with a small number went he forth.
66
And he smote Odomera and his brethren and the children of Phasiron in their tents.
67
And when Jonathan began to smite them and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city and burned up the engines of war,
68
and fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them. And they afflicted him sorely, for his counsel and travail were in vain.
69
Therefore he was very wroth at the wicked men who gave him counsel to come into the country, insomuch that he slew many of them and purposed to return into his own country.
70
When Jonathan had knowledge thereof, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end that he should make peace with him and deliver them the prisoners.
71
This thing he accepted, and did according to Jonathan's demands, and swore unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.
