1 Maccabees 11:69 In-Context

67 Jonathan and his army set up camp by Lake Galilee. Early the next morning he marched his troops to the plain of Hazor,

68 where the main force of the foreign army was advancing to meet him. Unknown to Jonathan, they had left a detachment of troops in ambush in the mountains,

69 and when the men in ambush came out and attacked,

70 Jonathan's entire army turned and ran. No one was left, except two officers, Mattathias son of Absalom and Judas son of Chalphi.

71 Jonathan was humiliated, so he tore his clothes, threw dust on his head, and prayed.
