32
And after the feast called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias, the governor of Idumea,
33
who came out with three thousand men on foot and four hundred horsemen.
34
And it happened that in their fighting together a few of the Jews were slain.
35
At that time Dositheus, one of Bacenor's company who was on horseback and a strong man, silently crept up upon Gorgias and, taking hold of his coat, drew him by force; and when he would have taken that accursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia, coming upon him, smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto Marisa.
36
Now when those who were with Gorgias had fought long and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that He would show Himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.
