1 Maccabees 5:58 In-Context

56 Joseph, Zechariah's son, and Azariah (the commanders of the forces that had remained behind) heard about their brave deeds and the war they had fought.

57 So they said, "Let's make a name for ourselves too. Let's go and make war on the Gentiles around us."

58 They gave orders to the troops who were with them and marched against Jamnia.

59 Gorgias and his troops came out from the town to engage them in battle.

60 Joseph and Azariah were decisively defeated, and they were pursued to the borders of Judea. As many as two thousand Israelites died that day.
