1 Maccabees 11:72 In-Context

70 insomuch that there was not one of them left except Mattathias the son of Absalom and Judas the son of Chalphi, the captains of the host.

71 Then Jonathan rent his clothes and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.

72 Afterwards, turning back to the battle, he put them to flight, and so they ran away.

73 Now when his own men who had fled saw this, they returned unto him and with him pursued them to Kadesh, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.

74 So there were slain of the heathen that day about three thousand men. But Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.
