However Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Maccabeus' captains, went forth and slew those whom Timothy had left in the fortress, above ten thousand men.
20
And Maccabeus arranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timothy, who had about him a hundred and twenty thousand men on foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.

Now when Timothy had knowledge of Judas' coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a fortress called Carnaim; for the town was hard to besiege and difficult to come unto by reason of the narrowness of all the places.

23
Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men.
