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