1 Maccabees 12:30 In-Context

28 When the enemy soldiers learned that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they were panic-stricken and fled, leaving their campfires burning.

29 Jonathan and his men saw the campfires but did not realize what had happened until the next morning.

30 Jonathan then set out after them, but he could not overtake them because they had already crossed the Eleutherus River.

31 Then Jonathan turned aside and attacked a tribe of Arabs called Zabadeans. He defeated them and plundered their possessions.

32 Then he broke camp and went to Damascus, inspecting the entire area along the way.
