69 Then the men waiting to ambush emerged from their places and joined the battle. All the men with Jonathan fled.

70 Not one of them was left except Mattathias, Absalom's son, and Judas, Chalphi's son, commanders of the army forces.

71 Jonathan tore his clothes, put dust on his head, and prayed.

72 Then he turned back to the battle against the enemy, routed them, and they fled.

73 When his men who were running away saw this, they returned to him. They joined him in the pursuit as far as Kadesh, where they camped.
