1 Maccabees 5:57 In-Context

55 Now at the time that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Gilead and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,

56 Joseph the son of Zechariah, and Azariah, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done.

57 Therefore they said, "Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen who are round about us."

58 So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Jamnia.

59 Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight against them.
