2 Maccabees 12:31 In-Context

29 From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth seventy-five miles from Jerusalem.
30 But when the Jews who dwelt there had testified that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them and treated them kindly in the time of their adversity,
31 they gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still toward them; and so they came to Jerusalem, the Feast of the Weeks approaching.
32 And after the feast called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias, the governor of Idumea,
33 who came out with three thousand men on foot and four hundred horsemen.
