1 Maccabees 9:67 In-Context

65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city and went forth himself into the country; and with a small number went he forth.

66 And he smote Odomera and his brethren and the children of Phasiron in their tents.

67 And when Jonathan began to smite them and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city and burned up the engines of war,

68 and fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them. And they afflicted him sorely, for his counsel and travail were in vain.

69 Therefore he was very wroth at the wicked men who gave him counsel to come into the country, insomuch that he slew many of them and purposed to return into his own country.
